“It’s against the law, and I’m still going to file a lawsuit for that. I got a lawyer who’s gonna do it pro bono for me. I’m gonna file a lawsuit.

This isn't the first time The Hustlers Corner SA has been marred in controversy. Nota Baloyi finally folded and apologised to White South Africans for his controversial remarks on DJ Sbu's podcast on 17 February 2025.

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, shared his thoughts about the sensitivity training and community service administered by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).
