Tuesday's celebrity edition interview was done virtually, for obvious reasons. MacG received heaps of praises from Chillers, who said he is a gone boy because he had Ari as his guest. Just when everybody anticipated for his downfall, he keeps on soaring.
But he also received a lot of backlash for a question he asked the American singer. The two were discussing her love life and Ari revealed the type of relationship she wants to have. They were discussing one of her first singles 'Pop' and Ari explained that it was in reference to sexual intercourse.
“It was such a silly song but it was so on time. Like if I pop it for you, are you going to play with me or are we going to get married,” she said.
MacG did not waste any time as he went right in with the 'inappropriate' question and asked her “...where are we at right now, is someone f***ing you good right now?” he asked and Ari reacted as expected to the "wild" question.
She shouted “Oh my God…whoa there!” and you could tell by her facial expression that she was caught off guard. “That's a wild question, why ask it that way, whoa,” she continued.
MacG explained that he asked her that particular question because that is how she phrased it in the song. Ari tried to remember where she said it but could not do so. “I did say that,” she agreed but to answer his question, because why not? She said, “...but no, I am chilling, I am not messing with anyone.”

Here's how Mzansi reacted:
Ignore the SA women, just focus on that lady's reaction and you will know that was just an awful question. There's really a way of asking question in a more respectable manner even if the person sings about such https://t.co/vbqHdlJPc6

Yea I agree with you, I guess he is still rough around the ages. I however hope the fact that his interview get people talking and gives exposure to the artist is seen as a positive and outweighs the the obvious disrespect factor being raised by some.

He only knows how to chop shit with his fellow soap scum that, faced with an established global superstar, he can only shock her and make her uncomfortable because he can’t do the one job his bigoted little podcast requites of him — interview 💀 https://t.co/a5Rmmc8pcM

MacG is notorious for these questions which leave you shook and also when he makes bold allegations and statements.
He trended a few days ago for alleging that Cassper Nyovest and Kamo Mphela were or are still an item, while his baby mama Thobeka Majozi used to hook up with Kamo's ex-rumoured boyfriend Andile Mpisane.
"I heard he (Andile) is allegedly sm***ing Cassper's wife," said MacG. "And Cassper is apparently sm***ng Kamo Mphela, who he (Andile Mpisane) was sm***ng," he then added.
Although this tea is still very hot, out of all the people mentioned, Cassper was the only one who responded and hit back at MacG.
"Nobody cares anymore. People just say and do things for traction. It's wild. I fear for the ones we are raising. The ones we have to teach. What will they learn from us?"
When a follower said MacG is notorious for making things up and not naming his sources, Cassper hit back and said "Aye man. Ni**as really don't give a f**k hey."
Trying to piece everything together was Cassper's nemesis, Nota who said this allegation is not new.
"Mac G basically rehashed an allegation first made by Maphephandaba in February 2021… 11months have passed & now Tsibipians are up in arms trying to cancel #PodcastAndChill the same way they failed to cancel Boohle… Why don’t they attack Andile Mpisane? He’s the pied piper here!"
"You losers are determined to raise your kids in broken homes… You just don’t want to have functional families. I knew the boy wasn’t ready to be a man when he turned his house into a dig instead of a place to raise a kid. Maybe deep down he wasn’t sure it’s his. Time to grow up!"
