Nota Baloyi facing jail time for contempt of court

2y By Nomonde Simelane

It appears luck is not on controversial artist manager Nota Baloyi’s side as his 2024 has been plagued with numerous court visits, his smart mouth and disregard for consequences landing him in trouble either with the public or the law. It is reported that the infamous figure is currently facing jail time after he was found guilty of contempt of court.

upon stumbling on the news of Nota’s arrest, those none the wiser would assume that the arrest is linked to the rape accusations artist and actor Itumeleng Bokaba brought up against Nota earlier this year. However, in a surprising turn of events, it turns out he was actually arrested for contempt of court after rap legend Ntokozo Mdluli, who is affectionately known by his alias, K.O filed a court order against Nota, following his remarks about the rapper’s involvement in the murder of fellow artist AKA.

According to Daily Sun, Nota has been sentenced to 60 days in prison and was taken into police custody straight from the court for the process of his booking.

This unfortunate ordeal comes at a convenient time for Nota’s critics and haters as he is known for his careless remarks. Most recently, he took to his X(formerly Twitter) to spew some problematic comments about an unsuspecting Caster Semenya, referring to the athlete as a man.

Although Nota is currently putting up a strong front, users claim they see through his antics and soon enough, the reality and extent of his situation will dawn on him.
