A viral video circulating online has put Polo G in the middle of a dispute with a private chef. The chef accused Polo G of not paying him in full after cooking up a vegan meal, and now the rapper is clapping back at the claims.
Chef Mal recently took to Instagram with a video that has made its rounds online. In the video, the private chef accused Polo G of not paying his full rate after preparing a vegan meal for the rapper. He opened the video by calling out the Chicago rapper, saying, Come with me to cook for this b**** ass n**** Polo G cheap ass Chicago lame. Chef Mal criticized the experience and claimed Polo G complimented the food during the meal, allegedly calling it the best vegan food ever. However, he said the rapper later attempted to pay less than expected and did not include a tip. He also suggested the experience made him reconsider working with certain clients, saying he wants to protect his peace and be more selective about who he does business with.
Polo G fired back at Chef Mals claims, saying the situation happened about three months ago and questioned why the chef was bringing it up now. Da s*** people do to chase clout when u minding yo business, Polo G wrote on his Instagram Story. The rapper also shared screenshots of his alleged conversations with Chef Mal, giving more context into their disagreement over payment. 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. Polo Gs sister, Leilani Capalot, also weighed in after the chefs video circulated. She criticized the food, calling it nasty asf and sayingthe 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.
As the exchange made its rounds online, social media users debated whether Polo G should have paid the chef regardless of how they felt about the food.
