Ex Global Responds to Nota\u2019s Harsh Critique of His Music Journey. In the dynamic landscape of South African hip-hop, past disputes from The Wrecking Crew period are resurfacing. Veteran critic Nota has launched a direct attack on Ex Global, a former member of the group, alleging that the decision to collaborate with A-Reece overlooked other talents who did not make the cut.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During his remarks, Nota emphasized that South African hip-hop remains committed to genuine talent. He accused A-Reece of failing to uplift certain collaborators, which he believes contributed to their diminishing careers. \u201cThose guys aren\u2019t talented,\u201d Nota commented explicitly.<\/p>\n

He further challenged audiences to recall a significant track from Ex Global\u2019s discography that evokes nostalgia or personal resonance, arguing that none can be found. \u201cWe never left any talent behind,\u201d he insisted, dismissing appeals for increased airplay on platforms such as TWC or others.<\/p>\n

His statements framed the division as a performance-based evaluation rather than a betrayal, suggesting the scene favors quality over mere inclusion.<\/p>\n

In response, Ex Global shared a detailed overview of his achievements, countering the assertion that his success was solely due to partnering with A-Reece. Prior to joining A-Reece and The Wrecking Crew, Ex Global had already established a diverse portfolio.<\/p>\n

Thagki is 100% right about everything. To answer Nota\u2026 Before Reece, I was Ex from Perplexed, solo hip hop champion, Twitch, represented SA in Las Vegas in the top 20 out of 130 countries, Running with the reps reality show, Big Brother Mzansi R100k winner, on every major TV\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/zBD3qtEVmQ<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Ex Global (@mansbusy_) April 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

His history includes performing as Ex from Perplexed, winning a solo hip-hop championship, competing on Twitch, and representing South Africa in an international competition held in Las Vegas, where he ranked among the top 20 from 130 countries. Additionally, he participated in reality shows like Running with the Reps and won R100,000 on Big Brother Mzansi. His profile was further bolstered by multiple interviews on major TV and radio networks, successful event promotions, and a steady stream of music video releases prior to joining TWC.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo answer Nota,\u201d Ex Global stated, \u201cif Nota is right, why hasn\u2019t Reece had a bigger commercial hit than anything he made with us?\u201d He highlighted the period between 2017 and 2021, referencing A-Reece\u2019s 2021 project Today\u2019s Tragedy, Tomorrow\u2019s Memory<\/em> (TTTM), and asked for details on any superior achievements in solo work since that time. Ex Global also mentioned interpersonal conflicts, revealing that he had been at A-Reece\u2019s home for a birthday celebration but found later releases like Blue Tape included veiled criticisms of former collaborators.<\/p>\n

He recounted a significant disagreement: after he suggested in a planned Milly video that only the core members could revive authentic hip-hop due to their shared understanding of its essence, he was supposedly excluded for maintaining a friendship with Mash. Instead of lingering on the past, Ex Global asserted that he chose to concentrate on his solo journey and progress onward.<\/p>\n

This exchange reveals the underlying tensions within The Wrecking Crew, which A-Reece co-founded in 2017 with producer Mashbeatz and others after departing from Ambitiouz Entertainment. Initial departures driven by financial disputes set a precedent of instability that has reverberated throughout public discussions in subsequent years.<\/p>\n

The confrontation between Nota and Ex Global takes place amid ongoing discussions about legacy, commitment, and commercial success in the South African rap scene. A-Reece continues to attract a loyal fanbase with works like Reece Effect<\/em> and TTTM<\/em>, which continue to perform well on streaming platforms. Ex Global, on the other hand, highlights his independent efforts and pre-group accomplishments as evidence of his self-made progress.<\/p>\n

As this dialogue continues on social media and other platforms, audiences are left to analyze the arguments presented by both sides. In an industry that thrives on competition and genuine storytelling, this recent episode reinforces a known reality: hip-hop seldom allows former tensions to simmer quietly, particularly when the issues at stake involve recognition, history, and the very roots of the genre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
