In December 2019, Greekazo appeared in a much publicized interview with Malou von Sivers on her talkshow Malou efter tio broadcast on TV4. He had been invited to talk about his career, but the interview soon turned into questions about his views on criminality and drugs. The interview received a lot of criticism and a debate about if one person can be held accountable for crime sprees in the suburbs.{{Cite news |url=https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=103&artikel=7363456 |title=Greekazo om Malou-intervjun: Tänkte, är det här ett polisförhör eller? |accessdate=12 May 2020 |newspaper=Sveriges Radio |date=9 December 2019 |last1=Nouri |first1=Farzad |last2=Stockholm |first2=P4 |archive-date=29 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230829043540/https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/7363456 |url-status=live }} Greekazo later received an invitation to come back to the show for another interview, but denied the request, since he believed he did not have the need to "prove anything".{{Cite news|last=Emanuelsson|first=Felicia|date=29 April 2020|title=Efter omtalade intervjun – Greekazo ratar Malou|language=sv|work=Expressen|url=https://www.expressen.se/noje/efter-omtalade-intervjun-greekazo-ratar-malou/|url-status=live|access-date=16 May 2020|archive-date=29 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230829043539/https://www.expressen.se/noje/efter-omtalade-intervjun-greekazo-ratar-malou/}}
