Controversial self-styled music exec Nota again asked for prayers as he handed himself over to the police following rape allegations.

It follows actress Itumeleng Bokaba laying charges against Baloyi after she said he forced himself on her while she was visiting him in September.

They captured their conversation about the encounter, including Bokaba asking that he send her money for "plan B", reportedly because he'd climaxed in her.

Nota, real name Nhlamulo Baloyi, for his part, has since denied her claims, including in a podcast and his numerous posts on X.

The drama caught the attention of academic Dr Mokgethi Phakeng, whom Nota has gone after in a notable past demeaning social media post.

She replied condescendingly under his latest plea for prayers in which he wrote:

"Handing myself in at Randburg police station and hoping for the best. Please keep me in your prayers. This is officially the worst day of my life so far!"

Mokgethi posted an old post of Nota's reply in which he trolled her — under another user's post of her with an encouraging caption — and gave the rape suspect some concise lip service.

"Askies boy. O tlo ba sharp. A certain pastor said he came out more mature. I hope you come out knowing that kindness is free and that respect is important. No wickedness goes unpunished, and your choices shape your future. Take this time to reflect and grow. We will be there," she wrote.

In his old post on 25 November 2023, Baloyi wrote:

"Old marhosha (prostitute) doing the splits to force a fake thigh gap! (clown face)."

Not long after Phakeng's post on Friday, nearly 12 hours after Baloyi announced he was handing himself over, even taking a picture of the arrest sheet, he replied to her, writing:

"Appealing [for the] decency of the elderly is not unkind. Even professors need to be nudged/shamed into behaving better. As for you quoting a pastor [that] you don’t respect after school kids were turned into thugs and ordered to burn down his church, you explain that at your final resting place!"

Phakeng had the last say with:

"WE. WILL. BE. THERE."
