DJ Cleo, real name True Cleopas Monyepao, finally spoke out during a recent appearance on a show. Podcasts and Chill Featuring co-hosts Mac G and Sol Phenduka.
The video of the interview went viral and sparked a backlash on social media, with viewers criticising Sol for repeatedly interrupting Cleo.
“Am I the only one who thinks Sol Fenduka is annoying after the recent #podcastandchill episode with DJ Cleo? No complaints with Sol at all but it was frustrating to hear him talk nonstop and not give @DjCleo1 a chance! I get why Dineo cut Sol, he's too much,” one Twitter user shared.
“I was in love with Sol before this episode. After the show? I'm not sure anymore,” added another.
However, several users defended Sol, writing, “Who is paying you guys to hate tweets about Sol… We know none of you are Chiller because Chiller knows that Sol is like that. He's really vocal about his opinions and we love that about him.”
DJ Cleo casually addressed the issue by sharing a video clip on Instagram in which the international presenters constantly interrupt each other during the debate, alluding to his dissatisfaction with Sol's behaviour on the podcast.
This post led to further criticism of Sol and more fans came to support Cleo.
“I love your maturity, your perspective and how when it feels like the conversation is going nowhere, you stop, take a moment, and then come back with a joke to move on to the next topic,” one follower commented.
“Sol was a nuisance during the argument. Cleo handled it maturely,” another person agreed.
