In the world of music, controversy seems to be an ever-present companion. This time, it’s music executive Nota Baloyi who has stirred up a storm with his insensitive remarks about the multi-award-winning singer Zahara’s recent hospitalization.
While some social media users agreed with Nota, others found his comments to be harsh and lacking in empathy.

Nota took to Twitter to express his thoughts on Zahara’s hospitalization, retweeting a post about her falling critically ill after years of alcohol abuse. In his tweet, he thanked God for the hospitalization, claiming that it would put an end to the singer’s years of alcohol abuse.
He went on to criticize Zahara, questioning her role as a role model for young girls and lamenting the tragic consequences of excessive drinking.
While it’s important to address issues of substance abuse and the impact it can have on one’s health, Nota’s comments seemed to lack tact and compassion.
Some social media users agreed with him, appreciating his outspoken nature and willingness to address uncomfortable topics. However, others felt that his words were too harsh and that there could have been a more empathetic way to discuss the issue at hand.
One Twitter user, @Mbongeni_Kupiso, commented on Nota’s tweet, humorously pointing out his lack of a filter. It seems that Nota is known for his unfiltered opinions and willingness to voice thoughts that others may be too afraid to express. Another user, @Gagu10111, agreed with Nota, applauding him for saying what many were thinking but hesitated to say.
However, @_TaJerry responded to Nota’s tweet, acknowledging the validity of his point but suggesting that the manner in which he expressed it was too harsh. It’s essential to address sensitive topics with empathy and understanding, as mental health and addiction are complex issues that require a compassionate approach.
Not all responses were supportive of Nota’s remarks. @NoChill4Hyaenas reminded him that he is not God and that everyone has their day. It’s crucial to remember that we should approach discussions with humility and respect for others, even when expressing our opinions. @talent4realz took a more direct approach, expressing concern for Nota’s mental well-being and suggesting that he seek help.
As for Zahara, we can only hope that she receives the care and support she needs during this challenging time. It’s essential to remember that behind the fame and success, artists are human beings who face their own struggles.

Let’s use this incident as an opportunity to reflect on the importance of empathy and kindness, both in our words and actions.
Thank God, this will put an end to the years of alcohol abuse she’s been through, sadly at the cost of her liver… Imagine drinking so much you live fails before you’re even 40years old? Young girls today have no role models, it’s tragic! https://t.co/QsYIv34Q9d
