Nota & Thakgi Lock Horns Over Hip Hop Legacy: “A-Reece Is One of My Success Stories.” A fiery exchange has taken centre stage on Music Pulse, the revamped podcast on the Podcast and Chill with MacG platform, as co-hosts Nota Baloyi and Thakgi clashed over influence, legacy, and who truly shaped South African hip hop.
Tensions escalated when Thakgi questioned Nota’s impact, stating bluntly, “Nota’s glory entirely lies on Kwesta’s success…” — a remark that immediately shifted the tone of the conversation. The comment put Kwesta at the centre of the debate and triggered a strong response.
Nota, never one to hold back, fired back with intensity, saying, “Sipho Tajane, yesterday, right, was telling his artists that Nota gave us 15 million rands in the middle of a fucking pandemic,” as he defended his role during one of the industry’s most difficult periods.
He continued to dismantle the claim that his reputation is tied solely to Kwesta, declaring, “Kwesta’s success is nothing compared to ‘Roll Up’ (Emtee’s song). I earn more for that.” In the same breath, he widened the scope of his influence, adding, “Your faves are part of my success stories. Your A-Reece that you put up on the posters is one of my success stories. That raised you. You (Thakgi) said that. Yeah. I raised you. Is it? That is what I’m saying. Yeah. That is what I’m saying. So please.”
By referencing Emtee’s hit “Roll Up” and highlighting A-Reece as part of his claimed legacy, Nota positioned himself as a key architect behind several success stories in the scene. As the conversation continues to trend, one thing is clear: Music Pulse remains a platform where raw opinions collide, and industry narratives are challenged in real time.
