Nota Baloyi gained viral attention for his comments regarding Netflix’s The PolygamistPolygamist. On the program Music Pulse, he and his co-hosts, Sfiso and Thakgi, shared their reviews of the show.
The series debuted on Friday, June 12, 2026, and has been trending on social media after securing the top spot on Netflix in South Africa and several other nations.
Nota comments on Celeste’s provocative scene
During the show, Nota offered his thoughts on a scene that left many viewers stunned. However, his delivery was not well received, both by the public and his co-hosts.
He expressed confusion regarding the purpose of filming the scene, claiming that it was unwanted by viewers.
“A hot scene with Celeste Ntuli? But why dawg?” he asked. He then added, “That’s sexual assault. For the viewers. Why would anyone. Unprovoked, see Celeste Ntuli undressed in a hot scene?” he asked.
Thakgi mentioned that, while he did not have a problem with the scene, he was “caught off guard” by it.
The Polygamist is based on the 2012 novel by Zimbabwean author Sue Nyathi and features actors like Sdumo Mtshali and Gugu Gumede. The narrative delves into the dysfunctional marriage between Jonasi and Joyce, alongside the extramarital issues that lead to Jonasi’s decline.
Criticism towards Nota
Audiences advised the podcasters to focus on music if their comments were to remain controversial.
@gerald_otto remarked:
“These people discuss everything besides music. Music is just 10% of the discussion.”
@IntensionMr asked:
“Honestly, how about they stick to talking about music and leave acting to read the room? Please and thanks.”
@RELEH_LEGODI questioned:
“Which episode is this? Who was a point, he went to the other podcast and kept on bashing that women are selling themselves, and she is not for taking money from men for whatever reason. The question was, do men see you in the way that they will want to spend on you?”
@t_tspi commented:
“It’s always the ugly guys.”
