Music executive Nota Baloyi recently responded to a video of YouTuber and TV personality Lasizwe checking himself out, saying, “Ntwana yam’, we could’ve made a mean striking team back in my soccer days, come back this side we need more boots on the ground!” The comment has sparked debate, with many interpreting it as an attempt to persuade Lasizwe to “come back” from his perceived sexuality rather than a genuine compliment
Lasizwe acknowledged Nota’s remark by retweeting the post without adding any commentary, leaving the interpretation open to his followers. This move has further fueled the debate surrounding Nota’s comment.
Nota Baloyi has been involved in controversy in the past, including a defamation case with rapper K.O., which resulted in a 60-day prison sentence for Nota. He was found guilty of contempt of court after making disparaging remarks about K.O. Some people have expressed relief and criticism towards Nota’s actions, with many feeling he deserved the prison sentence.
