MacG is wrong, respect goes a long way. He abused the platform to disrespect black women, especially when there’s a fight to protect women. He undermined and degraded Minnie Dlamini. Why doesn’t he speak about male celebs and who they have slept with? @iamprescri­bed

Pretty privilege wins all the time. Zodwa has been called names but no one has ever caught feelings over that but now a woman (Minnie) many see as beautiful & is their crush & role model, then all of a sudden there’s an uproar. Being beautiful must be nice.

#IsMacGWron­g – No! I’d be irritated if somebody who slept their way to the top of their career told me to “work hard and I’ll be in the same position one day”, because what the f**k do you know about working your way to the top? No man y’all idolise and worship the worst people.

@YomzuluNto­mb

I agree with MacG that this thing of lying and telling people to work hard when you know very well that you slept your way up is messed up. Be real about it and stop selling the youth fake dreams. Now, female celebs are getting babies for a rich man to secure the bag. Sies!

@YesThatRus­s

People hate the truth, so glad we are no longer limited to TV where certain people controlled the narrative. We live in a messed-up society but people want to sugar coat everything, and there is a selection on this cancel culture, there is no consistenc­y.

@sibonelo_belmir

So every other week people will come on here and complain about MacG and still go and consume his content? You have the power to filter what you consume. If you don’t vibe with his content, don’t consume it.

@MaabuleM

There’s GBV. There’s hockey club. There’s couch casting. There’s sexwork and everything in between but no one is saying anything about it or bashing it. Because it’s MacG who said it, they’re making a noise instead of working with him to continue exposing such things.

@atlasRange­r

The issue is not people like Minnie sleeping with men for money or career advancemen­t, the issue is them turning around and pretending like their success was attained in other ways.

@Xavier__101

MacG doesn’t disrespect women but he just tells the truth like it is. We’re used to lies in such a way that when someone tells the truth we say he/she doesn’t have respect.

@MattMaluks

He is telling the truth. We just don’t wanna hear the truth. Everything should be blamed on men. A triggering incident is this 15 y/o case. Those girls were introduced by girls or women because they want the lifestyle that other women have.
