Its known jokes can pay bills, but they can also cost you a major sponsorship deal.Alcoholic beverage maker Amstel is the latest big brand to distance itself and withdraw its sponsorship of the show after transphobic comments.
In a recent episode of the popular podcast, MacG and Sol were discussing an alleged cheating scandal involving a popular soapie actor.As the outcry over his comments grew, Amstel released a statement distancing themselves from the show. "The Amstel brand, locally and globally, is centred around friendship and inclusion of all people, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation without discrimination, and we distance ourselves from any transphobic and homophobic views.and will no longer be a partner as of December 1 2021."
Attempts to get comment from MacG on the pulled sponsorship was unsuccessful at the time of publishing. Any updated will be included once recieved.

Nandos and Savannah should jump in and sponsor the show, Amstel ga e monate ebile ga ena vibe
🤣 🤣 🤣 Y'all (Amstel) should also touch on the fact that people stab one another when drunk from your brand.
MacGUnleashed Solphendukaa podcastwithmacg These sponsors need to know that the podcastwithmacg is a platform that engages in conversations the non media traditional way. They got the publicity they needed now the jumping.. Who even still drinks AmstelSA but we jumped on.
Mxm, we are told that there is nothing wrong being gay, but people get punished for calling other people gay. We live in a sick society
Lol which transphobic and homophobic views now 😂😂😂,some sponsors 🚮🚮🚮
We don’t even like Amstel.
You guys are lazy to even research. Amstel wasn’t sponsoring the podcast, they were just advertising their brand for an event that was coming which eventually got cancelled. Get your facts straight, otherwise we will start questioning your integrity.
This is what happens when you hire marketing and PR directors who dont know what they're doing.
these fools need to stop being so stupid. a corporate wants everyone to buy their products. if you alienate a section of their target demographic you affect their sales negatively and they will fire you. if you are too dumb to realise that, its on you.
South African media gets too excited with destroying successful black people. What we're black people thinking allowing that Nelson Mandela to embrace these apartheid media houses? My people are domkops
He thought he is above everything and can say as he pleases

Grenfell survivors urge Mercedes F1 team to end sponsorshipBritish housingminister Michael Gove and survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire have called for Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes Formula One team to reconsider a sponsorship deal with a firm linked to the 2017 London disaster 'Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes Formula One team' is a massively misleading title and completely untrue. The wording here implies that Lewis Hamilton owns the Mercedes Formula One team, which he does not. Also using Hamilton's name implies he had any say in the deal. He does not.
