Nota Baloyi opens up about his time in Sun City prison, appreciates Jub Jub for protecting him! Controversial music executive and socialite Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi has broken his silence about the weeks he spent behind bars at Sun City prison. The outspoken figure, known for his bold and often controversial opinions, served 20 days of his 60-day sentence after being found guilty of defaming rapper K.O.

A Shocking Sentence

Baloyi’s legal troubles began when he made defamatory claims about K.O., which led to a court case and ultimately his imprisonment. The 60-day sentence was seen by some as harsh, but others viewed it as a warning against making false and damaging accusations in the entertainment industry.

Despite being sentenced to two months, Baloyi was released after serving 20 days, though his case is still ongoing.

Surviving Prison Life

Speaking about his time in prison, Baloyi opened up about his fears and struggles while adjusting to life behind bars.

“When you’re in prison, you think you might be raped. Fortunately, that didn’t happen to me. You can trade things like slices of bread—if you give them soap, they iron your clothes. And I had spare Sunlight.”

His description of prison life revealed how inmates negotiate and trade basic goods to make their stay more manageable. From bartering with bread and soap to getting clothes ironed, Baloyi learned the unwritten rules of survival inside Sun City prison.

Protected by Jub Jub’s Friends

One of the most surprising revelations from Baloyi’s prison experience was the help he received from rapper Jub Jub.

Baloyi revealed that Jub Jub, a former inmate himself, ensured that he was protected while behind bars.

“Some of Jub Jub’s friends who were still in prison ensured my safety, and I also communicated with the rapper while I was in there.”

Jub Jub, who spent several years in prison for culpable homicide, still has connections with fellow inmates, and those loyal to him watched over Baloyi, ensuring he was not harmed.

Interview on DJ Sbu’s Podcast

Baloyi recently sat down for an interview with DJ Sbu on his podcast, where he shared more details about his time in prison and the lessons he learned.

While he maintained his outspoken nature, Baloyi seemed to have gained a new perspective on life and the consequences of his actions.

During the conversation, Baloyi also confirmed that his legal battle is far from over, with his case being postponed to February 26.

Social Media Reactions

As expected, Baloyi’s prison experience sparked mixed reactions on social media.

• Some users mocked him, claiming he got a “taste of his own medicine” after years of making controversial and sometimes defamatory statements.
• Others expressed sympathy, suggesting that the justice system was too harsh on him for simply speaking his mind.
• A few even questioned whether his story was exaggerated, pointing out that prison is much harsher than what he described.

One user commented:

“He talks too much. Maybe prison humbled him.”

Another wrote:

“Why is he acting like prison was a luxury retreat? Sunlight soap and ironed clothes? Please.”

What’s Next for Nota Baloyi?

With his case still ongoing, Baloyi remains a polarizing figure in South Africa’s entertainment scene.

• While he continues to express his opinions boldly, he might now think twice before making public accusations.
• His legal battles may also serve as a cautionary tale for others, reminding them that defamation has serious consequences.
• Whether he changes his ways or continues down the same path, one thing is certain—Nota Baloyi will always make headlines.

For now, all eyes are on February 26, when he returns to court to fight his case. Will he face further legal trouble, or will he walk away with just a warning? Time will tell.
