It's no secret that in Hip Hop one can never be everybody's favourite and Nota Baloyi is not afraid of calling out all the rappers he dislikes. The "game" as some may call it, has been shaken up by the new school kids, forcing the older rappers to keep up. Cassper Nyovest took stray shots from Nota Baloyi when he tried to make this point, and he threw insults directed at Cassper and Nasty C.
Nota Baloyi is known for speaking his mind and vocalising his opinions when it comes to South African music. However, he does come across as condescending as he seeks to overpower people who do not share the same views as his. If you watched the MTV Base Hottsest MC's of 2020, you will definitely attest to that.
His latest social media rant saw him taking major shots at Cassper Nyovest saying Focalistic has stolen his shine. His lengthy Instagram post was a response to a tweet from a rapper by the name of Lucas Raps, who wishes the industry could find common ground and make the game better again.
Nota then took aim at Cassper saying they as supporters helped him get to where he 'was' when he reached major milestones of filling up the Dome to then filling up major stadiums such as FNB. He then said Cassper has gotten too big for his boots that he does not recognise the support people gave him and that his ego had gotten the better of him.
"We “the SA Hip-hop” community came together to get Capper from the Dome to FNB (stadium) and instead of him seeing how far we could get together, he instead wanted to act as if he got us there on his own, as though he didn’t need the Hip-hop community to progress in his career anymore. He thought he could do it without us," he wrote.
The insults then came in when Nota said Cassper is jealous of Focalistic and the new rappers because of all the praises they are receiving.
"He was wrong and now he’s watching the Hip-hop community get behind Focalistic and the rest of the new school, which makes him jealous, because he can’t stand not being the centre of attention. His fragile ego is something he needs to deal with. You can’t help him. Don’t even try. You can always trust him to always want to make himself the pathetic victim like he’s doing again now. Don’t fall for it. Don’t let him confuse you."
He then took aim at Durban rappers, and our wild guess is that he is shading Nasty C. Nasty C is at an international level now and has definitely put his city (Durban) on the map - but Nota does not agree, "Put your city on the map. The last time a rapper put Durban on the map was Ludacris - Pimpin All Over The World!"
