They released 60% of the tickets on Monday, 4 May 2025, and sold them out, much to many fans' disappointment. They pushed for a second date, which was taken into consideration by the music boss.
However, even if they do decide to make a second day, one person who is not invited is Nota Baloyi, and Phori made it clear why.
In the live, Phori said he will print a poster of Nota and show it to security personnel so they can stop Nota from entering.

Mzansi reacts to Phori banning Nota
Below are some of the reactions from the online users:
@louiehndrx laughed:
"Nota's response on Music Pulse next week iss gonna be priceless."
@HeroSeromo23632 exclaimed:
"Nota said he (Phori) doesn’t go to podcasts because he doesn’t know how to speak English. I’d ban Nota too!"
@MpapeleV defended Nota:
"What Nota was trying to say is that Phori can be as big as black coffee, but he isn't making the right moves. He has nothing against him; he just believes he can be doing more."
@AlexMapane72804 laughed:
"I'm waiting for Lord Nota's view on what is gonna happen without him on that gig."
@N_Nxuba corrected:
"NOTA on a podcast said that Phori can do better than FNB. He said that he's chasing Cassper's shadow, and Cassper did that almost 10 years ago. He said that Phori should be at a level where he is gigging overseas, coz FNB stadium is easy money since Piano is a dominant genre anyway."
