Content creator Ghost Hlubi has clapped back at controversial music critic Nota Baloyi following a public dig on the latest episode of Music Pulse. In a video that surfaced on 8 October 2026, the creator, whose real name is Khanya Hlubi, came out swinging and made it clear he had no intention of staying quiet.
Nota made his remarks during the latest episode of Music Pulse, where he referred to Ghost Hlubi as a "talentless clout chaser."
The podcaster questioned what Ghost Hlubi actually does, saying, "What is your talent, bro? What do you do?" He also took aim at the content creator's recent associations, adding, "He's a lame, he went and chased abo Peanuts in the US, now he's chasing Tyla's sister." Nota then appeared to celebrate Ghost Hlubi's split from fellow podcaster Seemah, saying, "Well done to Seemah."

Ghost Hlubi's response was direct and unsparing. He challenged Nota on his finances, telling the critic, "Nota, you're a grown man, and you can't go band-for-band with me." He also took aim at Nota's reputation as someone who gains attention primarily by speaking about others.

"I don't know where you come from, I just know that you're a broer who trends for speaking about other broers; that's what you're known for," he said.
Ghost Hlubi went further, questioning Nota's standing outside of his role on MacG's Podcast and Chill network.
"What else do we know about this broer? We know nothing. You don't inspire us, you don't motivate us, you're just there running your mouth on the podcast. Working for MacG, being MacG's employee and talking about me," he said.
He ended his response with a firm warning, telling Nota to "never talk about me again" and to "chill out."

The context behind the clash
Nota's criticism was directed at Ghost Hlubi's recent content, which included appearances with students and personalities from the Christian Progressive College, widely known as the CPC Stars, as well as footage from a Gold Reef City outing with Sydney Seethal, the sister of global star Tyla.
The back-and-forth adds to a pattern of controversy surrounding Nota Baloyi, who has faced ongoing backlash for his unfiltered commentary on public figures, which has previously resulted in criticism and legal action from various quarters.
