Imagine being a South African celebrity who refuses to come to podcast and chill cause "it will tarnish your brand" then you see a global brand doing such a beautiful none career sabotaging episode
The fact Akon went back to his home country doing all these projects for development without announcing or making a noise about it he packed left for Africa.💪🏾
I like that Sol didn't just "insert" himself in this interview, he was laid back and "allowed" Macto do his thing. Best duo interviews are like a dance. Well done guys.

Mac is a special case, sometimes it's hard to watch his interviews, especially when he asks he's guests personal or intimate questions. But otherwise he's a cool Gent.
You could honestly tell that Akon wanted to do this interview unlike that first that we dont even know! this was a great interview and they all gelled well together.
you see, these are the kind of interviews that boom, because it's a genuine conversation where you don't need to be prepared even, you just podcast and chill. one for the books. 👏

Was a beautiful episode all together. You will see those local celebrities who refused to come, begging for interviews now that we have gotten the biggest artist as far as music is concern globally.
This girl can really sing hey, i just listened her songs on spotify the new ep... She's talented indeed..... Let's show her the power of chillers by streaming her music
As Africans this was one of those reminders that as much as we look towards Black Americans, we should be wise enough to know what to leave behind and not take seeing how it’s not working even for them. The slay queen, champagne poppin, stripper, equality between men and woman culture. Too many single parents in Southa hopefully kuzovukwa emaqandeni before it’s too late 🤟
As self employed person, I learned something very important on this platform. Time and promoting your business. Ndia livhuwa Mac G , ndi ngazwo ndi chi follower man.
Akon is such a humble and relatable person...From working with the biggest brands in the world to sitting with a man who started talking to two people on a tablet...this level of humility is unmatched...Thank you Mac and Sol for a good interview
As South Africans I think we need to be worried about how we are always perceived as people who think/behave as americans/europians. Akon indirectly said we tend to be the last ones to notice things happening in Africa due to our behavior.
@@Tshikonelo nah, I get what you’re saying but that’s low hanging fruit. I’m seeing it from a different angle, from trends in culture to developing systems that we can own
"There was the mystery." Yes! I miss that about the stars & the internet just made them too accessible for my liking. I miss the song book days, the thrill of cd drops, short star interviews, etc.
Bone Thugs n Harmony ft Akon _i tried so hard It's like am taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back 😔😭life is really hard on me. Am happy for macg and sol because they are big inspiration to me,how their life turned around. Hoping and believing that mine too will change when I find a job. Big up guys for this interview, Akon is a good guy, I hope I can meet him one day.

It feels like Akon chilled with the Podcast team way too many times before.......the energy is insane!
I felt that aswell
My thoughts exactly
They were together the previous night
Its high time South Africans get together, sit down and see what we can do for MacG. The man is a legend and should be protected at all costs.
Yassss ❤
Let's all stream Amirah music so she sees the power of PAC.
Most definitely....convict music has a new member. & I definitely look forward to visiting Akon City......it's a must!

I like that Sol didn't just "insert" himself in this interview, he was laid back and "allowed" Macto do his thing. Best duo interviews are like a dance. Well done guys.
Oh yes. Loved that.
True
Couldn't have said it better🎉
Sol is a professional. I like the way he holds his peace when it comes to interviews, he lets Mac do his thing .
I'm sure they prepare questions together as a team
Damn, i didn't know AKON was this cool and chilled.
He is very open,well spoken and smart👌🏽
Dope interview🔥🔥🔥African brother✊🏾
funny too😍
He’s actually a very nice guy. Grounded and down to earth. He doesn’t drink and is very Islam. He is a true gem.
Akon came with good energy....👏👏👏👏

Yooooh. I can't believe I've just watched this. This podcast is the future and that's why I pay every month
Neh? 🙌🙌
You cannot believe yet you pay every month Yooooh
😂😂😂damn@@masalamanganyi6995
His disbelief comes from being amazed by the beauty of the interview. Not that he had doubts about the show itself.
@techblocks He can't belive because he pays every month
We will never cancel Mac..they tried on twitter with the Covid money thing manje Mac had already told us that the government gave him money long back..Mac is our GOAT.
What’s there to cancel when the man himself talked about the funds I just feel like bo Chris are just reaching
Thank you mnaketfu. 😊
He did say😂it on the podcast
Bayanya bao, MacG declared long ago that he got money from gvt.
He did mentioned that, on the Podcast. The money ghost claim her share of hosting them in her house, when Lenn claimed more than the others😂😂
I met Akon in 2018 NBA games in Rosebank his big security guard tried stopping me from talking to him but he was like let him come through he even stood up and took selfie with, at that moment I saw how humble he is.
The best interview in this channel THIS YEAR. MacG is bloody good - he was simply on a different level here! Ndaaa...
He was on his 947 bag today 😂
Nobody promotes Africa better than AKON 🌍
Nobody.
MacG with asking uncomfortable questions he takes number one.😂
Mac is a special case, sometimes it's hard to watch his interviews, especially when he asks he's guests personal or intimate questions. But otherwise he's a cool Gent.
@@SbalCOOLFACTS
That time he's "shy"😂😂😂
haiii number 1😅
😂😂😂😂
Mac killed the interview. Im so proud
MAC IS A GOAT
It’s crazy that we interview International Artists now 😢🌊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But we've been doing it 😅.. Rick Ross & Ari Lennox were interviewed 3 years ago
MacG carried this interview, respect 🎉
Yeah ...Sol.was off today 😂😂 no material
MacG and Sol really need to tour often, em boyz do a better job than most of the American/British interviewers
"The water broke in Africa and that's what birthed her career" ... Sol Phenduka

Sol must just start rapping, lol dude always split bars😂

This is one of the best episodes I have ever watched. Akin is the kind of man I'd sit with for hours. He is a Wiseman
I concur
there's just something different or a touch, when Interviews are done by MacG and Sol Phenduka. Gotla respect them
This was beautiful 😊 Africans are moving strongly together in the ryt direction.
One thing about Mac,he'll pull up wearing crocs 😂😂
Watching all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦.. Thank you podcast and chill team.. I am star struck 🤩. Grew up listening and loving @Akon’s songs..
This interview is major! Well done, Podcast and Chill!!!! ❤
Mac G is happy Akon is rymhing to the realities in our modern day women.

Yes that’s what I wanted to say, that performance where she pour water on her back was it ❤️🔥
From shooting at the pool endlini kaGhosti to B.E.T khuphuka Mac no Solly
After watching this episode… justice gets served when you go listen to Akon’s joint “I’m so paid”
I love how Akon is free to engage Mac and sol .......I wish a lot of people who come to the podcast can be as free as he is
He was nice😅
@@omphiledirero5622 very nice I see myself watching this episode again
@@omphiledirero5622 yeah seems like a genuine guy and free spirited......
Best AKON Interview Off All Time.
Very best
Was a beautiful episode all together. You will see those local celebrities who refused to come, begging for interviews now that we have gotten the biggest artist as far as music is concern globally.
Akon such wisdom! Very smart bro
The more modern our Afrikans get, the more the %s of single parent households & this just shows how far we are from our roots.
Mac no doubt has to be one of the best interviewers of all time 😂.
This girl can really sing hey, i just listened her songs on spotify the new ep... She's talented indeed..... Let's show her the power of chillers by streaming her music
Thanks for this MacG🙌🏾 appreciate this episode. I loved this guy growing up, getting an up close interview and hear his thoughts and all. Loved it🙏🏾
Dudu usisthandwa❤ we are now watching Mr smack that 👌📺
Akon "she has a beautiful heart"
Mac "you would know huh! " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those sneaky jabs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂And he missed that
@@Zine_Ngcobo It flew past him 😄but Sol quickly got it though azange wajampisa 😄
😂
Willfully ignored as I think the 2 are married or entangled
The moment when Akon catches Sol's "So you haven't done time?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"We will be born, and then he would ship us right back"😭😭🤣
Sol's "let her cook" line was gold 😂😂😂 I choked on my tea
Let me break it down to y'all... Mac is interviewing a man who did a duet with Michael Jackson... Mac is goated, period❤🎉
Preach Mem... On PERIOD
Well that was a very short break down 😅 when you say "let me break it down for y'all" it sounds like a very long explanation is coming 😅
👏👏
Yes mam🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Big ups Mac, Sol and the Chillers. Amazing interview.
As South Africans I think we need to be worried about how we are always perceived as people who think/behave as americans/europians. Akon indirectly said we tend to be the last ones to notice things happening in Africa due to our behavior.
That’s what I also picked up. It’s not a good look because it seems like we in our own bubble,
Its the mindsdt here in S.A. When we go to other African countries we say we are going to Africa. Imagine that.
