Gag Him! Black Coffee Wants Judge To Silence Nota Permanently In Nasty Court Battle

Johannesburg’s legal corridors are shaking, babes — because Black Coffee has officially had enough of Nota Baloyi’s mouth, and he’s now asking a whole High Court judge to slap a permanent gag order on SA’s most chaotic commentator.

And honestly? The way Nota has been typing with his chest on social media, we’re not shocked. But this time, the DJ is not clapping back online — he’s clapping back in court.

Black Coffee Goes Nuclear in Court Papers

According to a fiery urgent application filed under case number 2025-223513, Black Coffee wants the Johannesburg High Court to shut down Nota’s commentary for good.

Not pause it. Not slow it down. Not “let’s talk”.

No, babes — SILENCE. PERMANENTLY.

The Grammy-winning superstar is demanding:

• An urgent interdict stopping Nota from speaking about him anywhere, ever
• A full public apology
• A retraction of all “false and defamatory” statements
• A court declaration confirming Nota’s comments were unlawful
• Punitive costs (yes, he wants Nota to pay — heavily)

Whew. The silence Black Coffee is requesting might be louder than Nota has ever been.

Nota Responds: “He Wants to Muzzle Me!”

But Nota? Ah, Nota is not going down without a monologue.

Representing himself — because who needs a lawyer when you’ve got internet confidence — Nota fired back with a scorcher, claiming Black Coffee is trying to “weaponise wealth and influence” to silence him.

He basically said Black Coffee is using money as a megaphone and the courts as a mute button.

Nota also accused the DJ of:

• Launching the case ex parte (without notifying him)
• Acting with “undue aggression”
• “Intimidating” his elderly mother via alleged phone calls
• Harassing him under the guise of legal pressure

He also insists his comments are:

• Factual
• Fair comment
• Constitutionally protected under freedom of expression

In short? “You can’t silence me, I’m speaking my truth.”

Freedom of Speech vs Reputation: The Showdown

Nota’s legal clap-back argues that defamation fights must be handled at a full trial, where cross-examination can sort out who’s lying, who’s telling the truth, and who’s just loud.

He says an “urgent application” is dramatic and unnecessary — especially since Black Coffee allegedly waited before filing, which in Nota’s view kills any claim of urgency.

This isn’t just a case — this is a battle for public narrative control, and both men are pulling receipts.

Nota’s Counter-Strike: He Wants Money AND Protection

If you thought Nota would stop at defending himself, think again. He also filed a counter-application demanding:

• Black Coffee’s entire case to be dismissed with punitive costs
• R25,000 for emotional distress caused to his mother
• A court order blocking Black Coffee from contacting him or his family directly
• OR documents + a postponement for further preparation

The man came to court with litigation and vibes.

Entertainment lovers are already taking sides — some say Nota needs to be gagged because “the talking has been too much”, while others think Black Coffee is trying to “silence uncomfortable truths”.

What Happens Next?

The High Court must now decide:

• Should Nota be gagged urgently?
• Or must this messy, emotional, fact-heavy fight go to a full trial?

Because right now, it’s giving “Season 3 of a feud that refuses to end” — and South Africa is watching

Stay tuned — this case is hotter than a December groove lineup.
