Nota Baloyi is once again at the center of controversy, this time targeting the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in a scathing post on X (formerly Twitter). The former music executive, known for his unapologetic outbursts, took aim at the political party by sharing a meme suggesting that “empty vessels make the most noise.” In his post, he insinuated that the EFF’s members had small brains compared to those in the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party, fueling a firestorm of reactions.
Baloyi’s jibe quickly garnered attention, with many social media users chiming in on his critique of the EFF. While some found humor in his comment, many were quick to remind Nota that he, too, has made his fair share of controversial statements. “You’re one to speak,” became a common refrain, with users pointing to his own history of inflammatory remarks and public spats. Even well-known personalities like Ntsiki Mazwai weighed in, commenting on his past outbursts and questioning his mental state.
Despite the backlash, Nota remained undeterred, continuing to mock the EFF and its leadership. His comments are not the first time he’s stirred up political discourse, and they have sparked fresh debates about his credibility and motivations. Critics argue that while he may have a point about the noise in politics, his own history of public conflicts may undermine his stance.
While some may dismiss Nota’s commentary as attention-seeking or misguided, others believe he’s simply calling out what he perceives as a lack of substance within political movements. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: when Nota Baloyi speaks, people listen—whether they agree with him or not.
