Audience members noted the perceived tension between Phenduka and Baloyi, igniting discussions on social media platforms.
A user on X, SIYA_VS, pointedly questioned Sol, stating: “@Solphendukaa, you hate Nota, neh? Like, everything you said, even after the ‘We cool’ chat, just showed that you despise the guy.”
In response, Sol quickly refuted this notion. “No man, I don’t hate Nota,” he said simply.
During the roundtable, some of the discussion appeared to revolve around their individual connections to seasoned broadcaster Sizwe Dhlomo.
The atmosphere became competitive as both individuals asserted their closer ties with Dhlomo.
Sol proposed to call Sizwe to clarify specific points about Kaya 959, referring to him as “his boy.”
Nota countered, asserting, “He’s not ‘your boy,’ he’s my boy,” claiming his relationship with Dhlomo began in high school and is more profound than a mere professional link.
Sol then challenged the authenticity of Nota’s claim about their friendship.
“Have you been to Sizwe’s house? No one just goes to Sizwe’s house. Only people like Trevor Noah go to his house, not just any random person,” he commented.
This is so funny🤣,@SizweDhlomo is really him. #podcastandchill pic.twitter.com/CPzeKRwpwq
