Nota Baloyi has confirmed that AKA has indeed served him with court papers. According to Mabuza Attorneys, Nota allegedly used his Twitter account to defame AKA’s character.
According to the lawyers, Nota’s tweet created the innuendo that AKA uses drugs, and that he bullied and abused Anele Tembe before her tragic passing.
Nota was instructed to post a retraction of the tweet on his Twitter account.
Nota took to Instagram Live to dismiss the letter and said he would not be apologizing. He also went on to deactivate his Twitter account.
Speaking on IG Live, he said:
“You guys should all know how much I love and care for Kiernan, AKA. Everybody’s always like no Nota you’re always on Kiernan’s side he did this, he did this. I support him, I’ve supported him for a long time. Me supporting him does not mean that I don’t want what’s best for him. I want him to prosper in life. I don’t agree with some of the ways he’s been going about things. I don’t. I don’t agree with it, and it’s in the public right now.“
He continued:
“You can’t silence me with lawyers letters and stuff like that. You cannot! You cannot silence me with lawyers letters. You cannot stop me from commenting. Like what is that? Just let it go because you are living a public life now. You signed up for this. So now that you’ve signed up for it you need to live with it. Don’t be sending lawyers letters, cease and desist, whatever retraction whatever No! Not with me bro! I’m not scared of lawyers letters!“
