The claim, made during his recent podcast, has sparked a social media storm, prompting Nkosazana Daughter to address the rumours directly..

Nkosazana Daughter
“We have family’s at home like you, that watch these things you say, as for my relationship with Sir Trill was never a secret but private! Even before you even knew me!”Reactions from the Public
The public has been divided on the issue, with some defending Nkosazana Daughter and others siding with MacG’s speculative comments.

A user named Mlungisi Ntshangase voiced his support for Nkosazana Daughter, saying:
“Truth shall be told, MacG was wrong. Spreading rumors about Nkosazana Daughter’s child father is wrong if you don’t know for the fact. How is the child’s father feeling about this? How is Nkosazana daughter’s family viewing this and their daughter? This is wrong. All of this tarnish Nkosazana daughter’s image and devalues her abilities as a female singer. She is getting features and gigs because she sleeps with the likes of Master KG. Guys, let’s not do this to ingane yabazali. She’s a great vocalist, and let’s respect her & her work.”
