Outspoken media personality Nota Baloyi is once again facing criticism online after blatantly body-shaming Lerato Kganyago during the latest episode of his podcast, The Music Pulse, on 30 June 2026.
Speaking to co-hosts Thakgi Ledwaba and Sfiso Ndlovu, Thakgi recalled a recent encounter with the DJ/ radio personality, emphasising that she approached him at an event and that they had a pleasant conversation.
However, his story was cut short by Nota's comments, in which he made a jab at Kganyago's widely recognised nickname and linked it to her apparent inability to lose weight.
"She's LKG, but she's not losing KGs."

What followed was a split second of silence before Sfiso stepped in to immediately call Nota out on his behaviour. The DJ told his co-host that he should not make foul comments about women's bodies, saying that if he can't compliment her, rather keep his comments to himself.
"We have enough content to body-shame each other; keep it here."

This not being Nota's first time body-shaming a woman in recent months; it's clear that Sfiso did not want the Thatohatsi saga to repeat itself.
Earlier in January, the podcast trended for the wrong reasons after Nota made comments about the singer's body, leading to even his co-hosts facing criticism for not defending Thatohatsi.
While the conversation soon shifted back to Thakgi, who shared more details about his meeting with Lerato, Nota's comments became another talking point in the comment section as online users slammed him for his apparent blatant disregard for people's feelings and for using his platform to humiliate women.
