-- The musicians assured their fans that they planned to reunite at a later stage, but some fans were not convinced.
They commented that the Distruction Boyz announcement sounded familiar. The fans feared that the group would end up like Black Motion and Liquideep.
Nonetheless, they wished the musicians well on their individual careers and bid them farewell as a duo.

According to Kaya FM, the group had recently just gotten back together after initially splitting in 2020.

Kudos to you guys for the pioneering work you've done for Gqom as a duo. I remember seeing you at Parklife in 2019, and it was spiritual. All the best on your individual solo growth and careers; the mark you've made will never be forgotten , _umswenko_ said.
