In the messages, Chef Mal explained that his usual process includes a 50% deposit, with the remaining balance due upon arrival. Polo G responded that he typically pays once the service is completely finished.
Polo also claimed he was unhappy with the food and said he did not plan to have Chef Mal cook for him again. “On my dead grandma soul that food was nasty,” he wrote, while criticizing Chef Mal for taking their disagreement online.

She criticized the food, calling it “nasty asf” and saying the vegan ribs “tasted like rubber.” Leilani later addressed the situation in a separate statement, saying it was “extremely unfortunate” to support a Black-owned business only to encounter what she described as “unprofessionalism” and “a lack of integrity.”
