In the aftermath of the news, the country waited in shock for what might come next for the talented presenter, while others questioned his decision to fumble such a great bag. None were more savage than podcast presenter MacGyver “MacG” Mukwevho, who celebrated Mo Flava’s demise on his show Podcast and Chill with MacG, where he said he was glad that Mo Flava was allegedly fired, and that Mo Flava would never be able to find a better gig than Metro FM.
This bitter response from MacG came about as a retaliation to Mo Flava, who he [MacG] said had not been supportive of his podcasting career.
