Media star and businessman, Nota Baloyi claims in recent tweets that companies, Drip and Bathu are not contributing to the local economy.
If there is anyone who does not care what people would say when they share their unfiltered opinion, it is Nota Baloyi. The Mzansi star is known for his bluntness and he always says things as he feels.
Baloyi recently shared a couple of tweets unveiling his thoughts about how much Amapiano has been helping the economy, and how companies like Drip and Bathu have not done anything for it. He revealed that “the system is against us” and called out the people who are benefiting from it.
He also revealed that boys and girls who pack boxes at Drip and Bathu make next to nothing, proving his claims that the companies contribute nothing to the local economy. Tweeps seem to approve of his tweets because Nota claims he gained over 1000 new followers instantly.
Call me a hater but there are unemployed kids dancing on crates because there aren’t decent opportunities to get work experience. You guys are making this violent country more unequal. The system is against us, if you’re with it or benefitting from it, then you’re against us too!

My point is, Amapiano has minted more township millionaires in the last 3-years that any other genre in South African music history… OWNERSHIP IS THE KEY.
If you don’t own the master, it doesn’t sit in your asset book, so ensure you get the Lion’s share in royalties like KD!

Am I supposed to feel bad for us contributing to elevate South African music to world class levels? Please join my space, I’d like us to debate this in context. You forget that all that was done after Kwesta was the most featured South African artist for 3-years straight. Ncese! https://t.co/mx4XhzdjhR

I don’t buy Cruz Vodka but I own some of the company that owns Distell, makers of Cruz Vodka. AKA is our cash cow. He makes us so much money that we will defend him for as long as he’s faking our kids to university. So even you dancing with Savannah on your head, makes me richer!

The business woman who sells magwinya at the taxi rank makes more money than the boy or girl that packs boxes at Bathu or Drip… What are we celebrating really? I don’t want your black excellence if it’s all about exploiting blacks for crass materialism!
