‘I CUT OFF ALL THEIR TONGUES’: NOTA
Nota Baloyi sparked a heated debate on X after accusing DJ Sumbody’s celebrity friends of staying quiet about his tragic death and the latest developments in his murder case.
Nota feels there is a lack of loyalty and public support for the late star from his prominent friends.
“The silence of DJ Sumbody’s celebrity friends is telling… I cut off all their tongues!” Nota wrote on X.
FANS REACT TO NOTA BALOYI’S POST
His followers flooded the comments with mixed reactions, questioning why the late star’s celebrity friends have remained silent.
@Sportsbabe96940, “They’ve been quiet, it’s sad. These people can pretend, as long as it benefits them.”
@guaptatana, “It’s Easy to talk recklessly when you don’t have kids. Nobody gon feed your kids when you’re 6ft under, just let the law take its course.”
@mqhelenqabankos, “There are no friends in the industry.”
@Sydfret79, “Talking will get you killed, let law enforcement do their job. They are protecting their lives.”
@SolXolani, “Maybe they’re concerned about their safety too.”
DJ SUMBODY’S MURDER CASE POSTPONED
On Tuesday, the four suspects appeared before the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg, and their case was postponed to 29 July 2025.
Police believe three of the men acted as hitmen, while the fourth planned and ordered the hit.
The state requested the postponement to allow more time for investigation before submitting a formal bail application at the next hearing.
All four suspects are facing charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
