Podcaster Mac G teased his fans yesterday when he posted an image of himself unwinding with radio host Charlamagne tha God, captioning the photo “Guess who just became a Chiller,” hinting at Charlamagne being his next guest.
Mac G is the founder and host of Podcast and Chill with Mac G and ardent viewers of the show are known as Chillers. It is the continent’s biggest podcast with more than 1 million subscribers on YouTube.
Real name Lenard McKelvey, known professionally as Charlamagne tha God or simply Charlamagne, is a US radio host and television personality. He is the co-host of one of the biggest radio shows in the world, The Breakfast Club.
Last year, following a cringe-worthy interview with US R&B singer Ari Lennox, Mac G was defended by Charlamagne, on his radio show.
“You know I love watching young media personalities attempt to figure it out and one thing I won’t do is judge Mac G because I — at one point — was a Mac G. I was one of those young boys like that so I would rather counsel the man instead of cancel him. This is a teachable moment for young media personalities,” said Charlamagne.

Mac G has been in the US to support Black Coffee as he became the first South African to headline his own show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
While there, he rubbed shoulders with not only Charlamagne, but also stand-up comedian Andrew Schulz who is Charlamagne’s co-host on the podcast, Brilliant Idiots.
Real name Macgyver Mukwevho, Mac G was also the master of ceremonies at the Black Coffee Foundation Charity Gala in New York.
“I’ve got a podcast in South Africa, it’s the biggest podcast in Africa,” said Mac G, as he introduced himself.
A number of people poked fun at the podcaster that Black Coffee managed to get him draped in formal attire.
Last week the Black Coffee Foundation hosted a similar dinner in South Africa, where they announced collaboration with luxury car brand Mercedes Benz.
“This relationship will go a long way in helping us create a more sustainable way to assisting the communities that need the assistance the most,” said Black Coffee in a post.
The foundation has done some work in rural parts of the country, such as the Eastern Cape. In July the Black Coffee Foundation assisted a handful of people from Etiphini (Mthatha dumping site) with obtaining their ID’s, something they had struggled with since 2021.
