Nota Baloyi is well-known for stirring controversy, but his recent comments have led many in Mzansi to take a stand. The music executive, now a social commentator, found himself at the heart of a social media firestorm after criticizing actor Oros Mampofu in response to his celebratory family photos.
The incident began when user @metrofive5 shared a post on X that highlighted Mampofu’s role as a father, along with a picture of him with his three daughters, stating:
“Going from a girl dad of 2 beautiful girls to a girl dad of 3 beautiful girls is sooo perfect 🥹💖💖.”
Instead of passing by, Nota Baloyi quote-tweeted the post with a sharp criticism aimed at Mampofu:
“Serve your playboy punishment in peace Mr Perfect!”
Public reacts to Nota’s comments
The reaction to Nota’s statement was overwhelmingly negative. Many respondents highlighted that referring to the joy of having daughters as karmic retribution not only undermines Mampofu’s family but also trivializes the lives of the children involved. Critics labeled Baloyi’s comments as an unwarranted attack on a personal moment.
Responses divide the audience
The public’s responses varied, with some expressing confusion over how raising daughters could be seen as a punishment, while a few suggested that Nota’s words were misinterpreted. However, the majority of users firmly supported Mampofu, applauding his commitment to fatherhood and rejecting Baloyi’s framing of the situation. The replies flooded in, showcasing support for the Skeem Saam actor.
