In other news, Briefly News reported that Nota Baloyi is at it again. The controversial music exec made distasteful comments about AKA's late fiancée, Anele "Nellie" Tembe.

When Nota Baloyi accused AKA's friends of having a hand in his murder, one lady confronted him about not using his "investigative skills" when it comes to femicide. The lady rubbed Nota up the wrong way when she alleged that AKA had a hand in her death.

Reacting to the woman, Nota made distasteful remarks about Nellie who died under mysterious circumstances while in a Cape Town hotel with the late rapper. According to ZAlebs, he alleged that Nellie landed in hell after her death.
