Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi is the Twitter account which to some extent has become a parody and go-to page for those looking for salacious news and assertions from a self-important personality on the blue app. While Nota has become more a tool for clickbait, he seems happy with the fact as it continues to garner him interactions.
As of late, stories he can jump on have gone thin, so he has decided to launch a social media attack on his estranged Berita. From labelling her a ZImbabwean to spark xenophobic backlash against, to all but calling her broke if it was not for him and alleged generational wealth, that she would have not become the celebrated musician she is today.
But due to recent events in Hip-Hop with Big Zulu’s release of 150 Bars. As the genre has received its much needed boost in terms of being a point of conversation and hype. Nota has decided to join the conversation.
Nota comes for Kwesta and Stogie
- Nota calls Kwesta a liar
Nota was responsible for the running suggestion that Big Zulu was living off Kwesta’s wealth. As Kwesta’s former business partner and manager, depending on who you ask, Nota was the first to call out Big Zulu as ungrateful. This is as he suggested that Big Zulu not only drove Kwesta’s car when he first arrived in Johannesburg. But he went on to allege that Big Zulu was living in the house which was previously RapLyf’s studio and company house.
A fact which was initially corroborated by Kwesta when he released his reply diss track Quantham. But in light of the line getting more attention than the intention of the dis track roll outs. Kwesta set the record straight by indicating that Big Zulu did live in the house, but that he had bought it from him and the iNkabi is the rightful owner of the house. A fact, which Nota disregarded as false.
Kwesta: There's no bad blood between Zulu and me. Kwesta also says the house Duncan is talking about on his diss record belongs to Big Zulu. It was previously owned by the company and Zulu bought it.

- Nota allegedly taught Stogie T politics
Nota and Stogie T are not friends by any stretch of the imagination. This was made clear back in 2021, when the two had to be separated by security as they got involved in a physical altercation. In an official statement released at the time, Stogie T had set the record straight by suggesting what fueled the fight by writing in part:
“He has lied about encounters, charged me with destroying culture, one time suggesting my mother was a corrupt public servant who cheated the state to prop up my European tours with Tumi and The Volume, and most recently, suggesting I am a woman beater.”
As such, when Nota attempted to come into Stogie T’s personal space, he reacted which led to the brawl. But now Nota has suggested that before they did not see eye-to-eye, that he influenced the type of politically conscious rapper that Stogie T is.
When I was 18 I was teaching Stogie T about inequality, the Gini coefficient, discussing the Mbeki administration’s xenophobic attack incidents & the state of the nation while I was coaching him to write a verse for an anti-afrophobia song… I too rapped a verse in my Xitsonga!😎

We don’t know how true this is. But we are willing to bet good money that Nota’s sentiments in this regard are as true as his suggestion that he influenced the way his parents vote since he was four years old and politically aware.
