Five key moments from DJ Cleo interview on MacG podcast
Far removed from the years of dominance he enjoyed in the house music era of the early 2000s, DJ Cleo surfaced on the popular South African podcast to reflect on several epic moments in his 20-plus-year career.
The producer made a few gob-smacking claims in his conversation with MacG. For one, fans were pleasantly surprised when Cleo revealed he owns eight properties and, unlike most of his peers, his legacy career is upheld by a healthy financial status.
Also, the Wena Ng’Hamba Nawe star addressed some of the controversies of his career, including the infamous photo-op with his friend and child rape convict, Sipho ‘Brickz’ Ndlovu, taken from a prison facility in Klerksdorp, circa 2019, that drew ire from social media.
Perhaps, the most shocking moment of DJ Cleo’s interview on the MacG podcast came when he revealed jaw-dropping details about how the late Brown Dash’s chart-topping 2004 single, Phansi Komthunzi Welanga, was not only released without his approval but that one of South Africa’s most prominent artists was allegedly robbed of her credit for writing the entire song.
