South African hip hop mogul Cassper Nyovest has come out to expose his long-time rival, Nota Baloyi, after the controversial podcaster made another wild claim online.

The pair's long-standing feud has been the source of viral clapbacks and entertainment for fans for years.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page on 25 May 2026, the Tito Mboweni hitmaker trolled his rival for claiming to be the real owner of the company. During a 2022 interview on The Rea & Blvck Steph Podcast, the outspoken social commentator claimed he was the founder of the brand and that Cassper was merely an ambassador.

"I own Billiato. The man who is promoting it doesn't even own it."

When asked whether Cassper worked for him, Nota boldly doubled down on his claims, confidently stating that the rapper is indeed his influencer. He didn't stop there, either; the controversial music executive went on to boast that Cassper was doing "a much better job" than the last influencer he had hired to promote the brand.

In 2022, Musa Khawula also claimed the brand wasn't owned by Mufasa, and instead by David de Mardt, the CEO of Cruz Vodka.

Launched in 2021, Billiato is just one piece of Cassper’s impressive business empire, which also includes his independent record label, Family Tree, and his popular sneaker and apparel brand, Root of Fame. The brand is also marketed by Toss, who is the brand ambassador. By reducing the rapper to a mere employee on his payroll, Nota successfully managed to add fuel to the fire of their long-standing rivalry, prompting a response from Mufasa.
