Social media users flooded the comments with mixed reactions. While some argued that beauty shouldn’t be the only standard in romantic relationships, others agreed with the X user that Nota had downgraded.
Here are some of the comments:
@_fathericky asked:
“What constitutes a downgrade? Stop degrading women!”
@thaboexplicit argued:
“Any man who thinks beauty is a cornerstone of a fruitful relationship is in big trouble. There's nothing wrong with wanting a good-looking partner, but if that's all they have to offer and you think that's a good thing. Ubhekene nenkinga bafo.”
@SakiSoulM said:
“We can’t be judging partners by their looks.”
@Mandz_2 remarked:
“These women are both beautiful in their own way.”
@Mr_Dark_Choc said:
“As a man I would think you would understand that a beautiful woman or not so beautiful woman doesn't necessarily equate to being a great or suitable partner. I will say Berita is probably more beautiful than the alleged current yes.”

What did Nota Baloyi say about his alleged new bae?
During a Music Pulse episode that premiered on MacG’s YouTube channel on Tuesday, 8 April 2026, Nota Baloyi set the record straight regarding his relationship with Lindor Hughes.
When his co-hosts pressed him for details regarding his relationship with Lindor, Nota said:
“She's my home girl. She's my home brewed girl.”
Further into the segment, Nota Baloyi denied that Lindor Hughes is his girlfriend.
“She's not my hun. She's a hun I know,” Nota Baloyi said.
Nota Baloyi made serious allegations saying that his rumoured girlfriend Lindor Hughes is in a romantic relationship with Black Coffee, who is suing him.
“There's video evidence, right, that has been suppressed by Nick Burger, who used to work at Universal Music. He used digital ID, copyright protection, to make sure that anyone who uploads that video that I've seen with my own eyes, it gets taken off the internet. That's all I need to say about that. So, don't worry about the proof. Don't worry about the evidence. The reason why that story was written about is because the people that saw the proof were people that were writing,” Npta Baloyi said.
