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.
"We have officially parted ways with Podcast and Chill with MacG and will no longer be a partner as of December 1 2021."
