Shespoke out against the hurtful comments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Following the podcast, the singer posted deeply disturbing content on social media that reflected her emotional state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">A user named @TheOGPurist shared a video clip on their <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheOGPurist\/status\/2012428997838163995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X account<\/a> on Saturday, 17 January 2025, capturing the moment Baloyi issued his apology.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He captioned the clip: &#8220;Nota&#8217;s apology to Thatohatsi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>In the footage, Baloyi states: &#8220;My words were hurtful and inappropriate, and I deeply regret the pain they may have caused. I am committed to fostering unity and understanding among all communities, and I will take the steps to make sure that such incidents do not recur.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Baloyi drew attention across social media when accusations emerged that he body-shamed Thatohatsi during an episode of Piano Pulse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\">Following these comments, the singer has reportedly removed her posts on her Instagram account, citing remarks suggesting her body &#8220;does not look amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-left\"><strong>Briefly News<\/strong> has reached out to Mr. Baloyi for his thoughts on the apology video that gained traction online, and updates will follow as they become available.<\/p>\n<h2>Public reactions to Nota&#8217;s video<\/h2>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@uNaledii commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is no apology for anything. They take the phone away and ask him what he just read for us, even though. He would be confused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@TFranz47 remarked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This guy is a character. He is kind of gaslighting her by &#8216;reading on the phone&#8217;. It is very much intentional. He knows what he is doing. He is literally saying &#8216;f*ck you&#8217; twice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@leeroyivry responded:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What kind of apology is this, man? Nkari (it&#8217;s like) his publicist wrote it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@nolwee expressed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He is such a narcissist. He must stop getting platforms to bash people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@mfudwana411 mentioned:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Big up to him for apologising.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@O_J_Kent posed a question:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What if he\u2019s the one who wrote whatever he\u2019s reading, though?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@uNaledii questioned:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You believe that? So, if someone apologised to you like that, you\u2019d be fine about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"align-left\">@LiseSigh added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At least he is
