A history of ups and downs fuels the fire

This isn't the first rodeo for Ntsiki and Nota.

The pair have clashed publicly for years over various issues, from industry politics to personal digs.

But in May 2025, they shocked fans by reconciling during a sit-down interview, putting past beef behind them.

Things seemed solid when Nota supported Ntsiki in November 2025 during her defamation case against DJ Euphonik, solidifying their unexpected alliance.

By December, however, romance rumours swirled as fans teased they'd make a cute couple. These rumours were shut down by Ntsiki, calling Nota "extremely immature" and not her type.

Ntsiki, known for her unfiltered takes on feminism and culture, has faced backlash before for her views.

"No reconciliation that ever happened. She needed me for content, and I obliged, as I oblige with many other content creators, and that was that. As for her actions beyond that and her criticism, especially of the people that were assisting Speed and his team to put together the Joburg stream, I felt that her character is lacking, and therefore I shall be removing myself from any further engagements with someone of such, I guess, someone mean-spirited. I don't think that her heart is in the right place, and I think that she's vengeful and vindictive and driven by that rather than any good intentions," Nota Baloyi explained.

Nota Baloyi questions Julius Malema's lifestyle

Not one to shy away from making his opinions known, Nota crossed lanes from his mainstream industry of entertainment into the political arena when he questioned the lifestyle of EFF leader Julius Malema.
