Controversial music producer Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi is back to making outlandish statements on social media.
This time, Baloyi took to X to claim that he is the reason why Mzansi hip hop artists like Nasty C, Emtee and A-Reece have constantly been on top of the music charts.
To make his point clearer, Baloyi posted a video which talks about US rapper 50 Cent used a feud with another rapper to keep a song at the top of the charts for weeks, in turn making a large sum of money.
Baloyi wrote: “To all the fools that wonder why I’m so hard on Nasty C, Emtee & A-Reece just remember that I’m the only one that has been fuelling the coverage of SA Hip-hop in the media since 2020 …
“Had I just kept my thoughts to myself, there would’ve been no resurgence!”
When one social media user questioned Baloyi as to whether he was implying that his remarks peaked their streams, Baloyi responded: “No ... I’m the reason SA Hip-hop is still newsworthy!”
No, I saying it does… I’m the reason SA Hip-hop is still newsworthy!
