‘The one thing I did not want to do is give up’ — Nota Baloyi on finalising his divorce from singer Berita

Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi spoke candidly about finalising his divorce from singer Berita. 

During his interview on The Hustler's Corner podcast, Nota opened up about their split after a year of marriage, recalling his last moments with Berita at the divorce court.

“Closure is a good description because as a man, I think the thing you're most obsessed about is not failing at something so it's always hard to accept a failure at anything,” he said.

“I'm excited to have the whole question about that part of my life over.

“For me, the one thing I did not want to do is give up. Whatever goes down, at least let's go down fighting. I still need to prove to myself that I am as principled as I want to be and that's what motivated me to do that.”

Nota said he had not seen Berita for nearly two years and decided to wear a suit she had made for him and smell good to leave a great last impression. 

“I was satisfied.

“I gave her a hug and I wished her the best and then me and my dad left.”

The estranged couple's marital woes first made headlines when Berita took to her X timeline revealing she left her marital home in 2022.  

In another X post, Berita said she had refrained from speaking about their relationship because she was worried about her safety 

“I have been quiet because my safety has been a huge concern. This man is extremely irresponsible, reckless and unruly. He simply does not listen to anyone. I do not condone his actions. I cannot even begin to count the numerous times he has erred in his speech,” she wrote.

“The bullying and disgrace I have faced publicly and privately is painful. I missed very big red flags.”

“The day I decided to leave my marriage is the day I had to choose between being married and being alive.”
