March 19, 2025 – Sizwe Alakine , a prominent figure in the South African entertainment scene, recently took to social media to defend his relationship with Gigi Lamayne after being criticized on a popular podcast.

The incident occurred during an uninvited appearance by Alakine on the Piano Pulse podcast, hosted by Thagki, Munaka, and Sifiso. While the podcast is primarily focused on the Amapiano music genre, many listeners have raised concerns that the show often veers into gossip territory. This particular episode saw Sifiso asking Thagki if he had heard about Sizwe Alakine ‘s relationship with Gigi Lamayne and whether he thought it was a “downgrade.” Thagki, known for his blunt opinions, quickly responded that, in his view, it was indeed a downgrade.

Alakine , who had previously dated LootLove and is now in a relationship with Gigi Lamayne, was clearly upset by the remark. He took it upon himself to directly address the comment, requesting clarification from the hosts and urging them to avoid speaking negatively about women in such a manner.

The confrontation between Sizwe Alakine and Thagki became heated, with the two exchanging harsh words. In an effort to calm the situation, both Sifiso and Munaka tried to mediate by apologizing and promising to refrain from making such comments in the future. However, Thagki stood firm in his stance and did not offer an apology for his remarks.

This clash has sparked a conversation among listeners and followers, with many questioning whether Thagki should have apologized for his comment. Some have expressed support for Alakine’s defense of his relationship, while others believe that the podcast hosts were simply expressing their opinions on the matter.

As the debate continues, the incident serves as a reminder of the powerful impact that public figures can have on social media and the conversations surrounding relationships in the public eye.
