MacG has stirred up a fresh conversation about Nota Baloyi's love life after calling out the music mogul on his popular show, Podcast and Chill. Speaking candidly with his co-host, MacG suggested that Nota's relationship with 21-year-old Thandolwethu feels uncomfortably close to grooming, given their 15-year age gap.
In the clip circulating on X, MacG said, "She can't even think for herself. Like never in my life." His co-host agreed, adding, "It's almost like grooming." MacG also took a swipe at fellow podcast hosts for not challenging Nota on the matter, saying he found it "weird" that no one had brought it up before. He joked, "That's like me dating Yanda," to underline how strange he found the age dynamic.
Nota and Thandolwethu's public debut
Nota Baloyi, 36, and Thandolwethu first stepped out as a couple at the Scorpion Kings concert on 19 September 2026. The pairing quickly drew online attention, with some fans noting that Thandolwethu resembles Nota's ex-wife, singer Berita.

Mzansi was divided over MacG's take. The clip has split opinion sharply. Some backed MacG's concerns, while others felt he was overstepping.
@math52751 brought up a comparison:
"When Black Coffee and Victoria Gonzalez first met and quietly began dating around 2018–2019, she was 21, and he was 42 or 43. Nota, he is just broke, which is why it feels wrong."
@HotTakesHubHQ pushed back:
"Kanti, at what age do women become adults? If she can't think for herself, why is she allowed to vote? 😭"
@1072sannko took a lighter jab at MacG himself:
"Naledi looks older than MacG, but she might be younger than him."
@MabilazD40749 was firm:
"Not big fan of nota but 21 is not a child is a woman she can think as long they agreed 21 year can be married aah."
