Nota Baloyi Tears Into Cyan Boujee After Alleged R10 “Donation”

Hayibo! A supposed R10 donation has turned into a full-blown celebrity war. Nota Baloyi was not about to accept Cyan Boujee's cheeky financial gesture quietly, responding with a brutal dig at her controversial Alabuga Start promotion.

Somebody apparently sent a grown man R10 and now the whole timeline is in flames! Nota Baloyi has lashed out at influencer Cyan Boujee after a screenshot claimed she coughed up a symbolic tenner for him.

The receipt, so to speak, was posted by X user @33Music_Plug on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The screenshot showed a caption reading, “Thanks, L-Tido. Just sent Nota R10. 🤍”.

Many netizens took it as Cyan Boujee, whose real name is Honour Zuma, joining rapper L-Tido’s jab that Nota is broke and begging for cash.

Nota, being Nota, was not about to let that slide quietly. "Oh no, she didn't; we don't launder human trafficker money here... She must name her Top 5 L-Tido songs since she's shopping for a wack rapper stepfather!" Nota wrote.

Why Nota Baloyi Went Straight For Cyan Boujee’s Past

That “human trafficker” line was no random insult, bafethu, but a swipe at a scandal that haunted Cyan Boujee in August 2025. She had promoted Alabuga Start, a Russian job and education scheme aimed at young women aged 18 to 22. The pitch was shiny: international careers, free flights, housing and Russian language classes in Tatarstan.

Later investigations linked the programme to labour exploitation and human trafficking, with recruits allegedly placed in harsh conditions at a special economic zone making drones for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Cyan Boujee deleted the videos and apologised, insisting she did not know what the scheme really was. She said she treated it as a brand deal, had not been paid yet when she took the posts down, and later described herself as a victim of deceptive recruitment and propaganda.

Nota Baloyi Vs L-Tido: The Beef Behind The R10 Drama

Cyan's alleged R10 gesture did not happen in isolation. It appears to be another development in the ongoing tension between Nota and L-Tido, whose disagreement became particularly explosive during a recording of the Music Pulse podcast on 3 November 2026.

During the episode, Nota launched into a lengthy criticism of L-Tido while the show was being recorded live. Things became even more uncomfortable when co-host Sfiso called the rapper during the discussion, allowing listeners to witness the confrontation unfold in real time.

L-Tido subsequently fired back with remarks about Nota's financial circumstances, seemingly turning the disagreement into a battle over more than just music and personal opinions. Cyan's reported R10 contribution has now added another character to the unfolding drama.

And judging by Nota's response, he has no intention of letting either of them have the last laugh.

What Netizens Are Saying

@MylifeDubula mocked: “I’d rather be a wack rapper any day than be a man who calls the cops because another man chowed his girl. 😭💀 Imagine getting played in your own relationship and expecting the police to restore your dignity. That’s not just an L; that’s a HISTORIC L! 🤣”

@Modrich21840165 warned: “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”

@Ame_Mooh said: “This comeback is weak; you should have ignored this one.”

@Thabo_TD87 claimed: “I don’t think Nota’s parents loved him growing up; his behaviour says it all. People who grew up not being loved behave as he does; growing up in a rich, dysfunctional family is not pap and vleis.”

@ongathembeki remarked: “Crash out of the century😭😭💔”

@simmy_zwane commented: “They let her get away with being a human trafficker. But every dog has its day; leave her 🚮”

So what do you think, Mzansi? Was the R10 a savage joke, or did Nota’s clap-back go too far? Tell us in the comments, because we are not going anywhere!
