On a recent episode of The Menace Podcast, bodybuilding coach Kamal Elgargni shocked the panel by revealing he may stop coaching Andrew Jacked due to a financial dispute.
Elgargni, a 212 division champion, says he hasn't been paid for his coaching services since the 2025 Olympia. He felt insulted by an initial $3,000 gesture and a later offer of a Rolex watch and $5,000, demanding 5% of prize money instead.
The tension escalated when Jacked flew business class to the UK for the Arnold Classic while booking Elgargni in economy. Elgargni described it as a knife in the back.
Panelist Dennis James suggested the misunderstanding arose because Elgargni initially said he didn't want payment, advising that financial terms must be clear upfront.
Andrew Jacked has won over $1 million in recent competitions.
