Nota also voiced that despite being relieved, a lot of damage has been done, especially to his reputation.

He said:

"My family has been both emotionally and financially supportive throughout. The most concerning thing for me is that the complainant still thinks that this is a joke. She does not care about the hurt and pain she has caused me and my family. And also how her handling of the matter triggers real victims."

In late 2024, the South African actress Itumeleng Bokaba opened a case against him, and he had been adamant that he was innocent.

In a video, she said:

"If they don't prosecute, don't assume there was a lie; sometimes it's because there's not enough evidence. I'm going to tell my story from beginning to end, but I cannot predict what the outcome will be. All I know is that I'm not telling a lie."

Nota Baloyi addresses the sexual assault charges

Previously, the controversial music executive spoke about the allegations and how it has been for him with Briefly News, Nota Baloyi said:

"Extortion is a serious offence & rather than give in to the demands of my blackmailer. I chose to hand myself into the police to show them how confident I was in proving my innocence. The magistrate saw that it is in the interest of justice that I will be released on bail on condition that I do not contact my accuser, whom I last contacted on September 24, 2024, inviting her to an event.

"My legal team is proceeding with the extortion case once this current case is concluded. ⁠I’m encouraged by the support of the many boy mothers in South Africa & my critics seem to almost exclusively be EFF supporter’s bot who have been instructed to harass me. I will be taking legal action against them when the case is concluded as well as opening a case of crimen injuria against KayaFM presenter Sol Phenduka."
