While the internet was busy dissecting the latest developments in the Mihlali Ndamase “house of cards” saga, Nota Baloyi decided to take a sharp detour to target his former spouse. In a post shared on January 21, 2026, Baloyi accused Berita of “career suicide” by aligning herself with the influencer culture.
The Attack: “Bofebe Won’t Win”
Baloyi’s post, which many have labeled as derogatory and body-shaming, didn’t hold back. He claimed that Berita’s admiration for Mihlali alienated her core audience:
“I was once married to a bird-brain that was simping for Mihlali… That was how she committed career suicide,” he wrote. He went on to describe her as a “wannabe baddie” and celebrated the perceived downfall of Mihlali’s brand, concluding with the inflammatory remark, “Bofebe won’t win!”
Netizens Clap Back
The reaction was swift and largely negative. Instead of joining in on the Mihlali discourse, social media users turned their focus toward Baloyi’s inability to move on from his marriage.
- Public Sentiment: Many users described the attack as “obsessive” and “unnecessary,” noting that Berita had remained silent and focused on her music since their highly publicized split.
- Industry Concern: Critics highlighted that these constant public feuds continue to overshadow the creative contributions of both parties, creating a cycle of toxicity that fans are increasingly tired of.
Despite the widespread condemnation and calls for him to “let it go,” the music executive has kept the post live, continuing to engage with commenters and stoke the embers of the debate.
