In a brief clip shared on X, Kwesta credited his manager and music executive Nota Baloyi as a crucial factor in his professional journey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">In their discussion, Kwesta reflected on his early career associations with the music executive, emphasizing their joint contributions. He remarked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;d be [without Nota] but I know that he had a big role to play for me to be where I am now.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">DJ Sbu, the host, fostered the conversation by asking about significant influences, prompting Kwesta to highlight their collaborative successes as both impactful and unique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Watch the clip below:<\/p>\n<h2>The clip sparks viewer responses<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@_ShaunKeyz tweeted, recognizing the wisdom in Kwesta&#8217;s comments:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Matured response.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@change_1000 praised Nota, tagging him with a term of affection for a notable figure:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;@lavidaNOTA look, my GOAT.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@TshepoCM1 added context by referencing Nota&#8217;s previous remarks about Kwesta, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He [Nota] called him [Kwesta] a drunkard.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Kwesta and Nota&#8217;s shared history in hip-hop<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">The partnership between Kwesta and Nota Baloyi became more apparent during their time at <i>RapLyf Records<\/i>, where Baloyi served in an executive capacity and Kwesta emerged as a significant artist for the label.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Their collaboration coincided with Kwesta\u2019s progression from <i>Special Rekwest<\/i> to the remarkable success of <i>DaKAR II<\/i> in 2016, with Baloyi frequently recognized as part of the support team for the rapper\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">This relationship later soured, and by 2020, public disputes between the two were evident, with Baloyi making several critical comments about Kwesta online. Kwesta, who has marked his long-lasting romance, continues to be a celebrated personality in the local hip-hop scene, recognized for his unique voice and lyrical talent.<\/p>\n<h2>Nota&#8217;s musical feats<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Nota, who recently was reportedly offered a radio position, has a notable track record in the music sector, having facilitated Sho Madjozi\u2019s significant contract with <i>Epic Records<\/i> and playing a vital role in Kwesta\u2019s accolades at the SAMAs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">He also took the lead in producing his then-wife Berita\u2019s SAMA-winning project <i>Song In The Key Of Love<\/i>, further establishing his backstage influence. In addition to artist mentorship, Nota held senior positions at two record labels, founded his own company, <i>SoFet Urbantainment<\/i>, and led <i>The Orchard<\/i> under <i>Sony Music Entertainment<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">His contributions reached international audiences, as he accompanied Sho Madjozi to the <i>BET Awards<\/i> in 2019 when she took home the Best New International Act title. While primarily known as an executive and producer, he has also featured on tracks like Kwesta\u2019s <i>Preacher<\/i> and <i>Karma<\/i>, as well as DJ Lag\u2019s <i>Jungle<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
