The Zed Podcast has debunked social media allegations claiming that Zambian artist Triple M was neglected and left hungry during his recent appearance on the show.
The claims began circulating after a video snippet from the episode showed the show’s hosts, Kalenga and Elson, enjoying food, while Triple M seemingly sat without any. The image led to public criticism suggesting that the guest was poorly treated.
However, in a statement posted on their official social media pages, The Zed Podcast clarified the situation, assuring audiences that Triple M and his team were given full hospitality behind the scenes.
“People are complaining… ‘Why didn’t you offer your guest any food? Kalenga and Elson were just chewing alone.’ Come on guys. This episode was recorded at a restaurant in Kabulonga. Triple M and his team were served a platter big enough to feed three families right before the recording. (They didn’t even finish their food, those lazy guys.),” the statement read.
The podcast emphasized that the video circulating online failed to capture what happened off-camera, leading to unnecessary speculation.
Triple M Was Well Taken Care of Behind the Scenes
To reinforce their point, The Zed Podcast assured fans that Triple M was treated with the respect and care he deserved. The statement concluded with an invitation to skeptics to verify their claims with the artist himself.
“Back to Triple M, he was well taken care of behind the scenes. He can confirm it. Call him,” their post added, putting an end to the unfounded rumors.
This controversy highlights the importance of context in the online age, where short clips often fail to capture the entire story. It also reflects The Zed Podcast’s dedication to their guests and professional station
