According to Nota Baloyi, TikTok is a social networking app, that destroys marriages. He claimed that it made his estranged wife Berita crazy.

Nota Baloyi, a controversial entertainment manager and prominent South African Twitter user, seems to be having difficulty accepting the dissolution of his marriage to singer Gugulethu Khumalo, better known by her stage name Berita. The afro-soul singer gained notoriety earlier this year when she announced her separation from Nota, whom she also accused of abusing her.

The music executive continues to talk about his marriage and his estranged Zimbabwean wife online despite the fact that they split up.

Nota Baloyi, the ex-manager of Kwesta, is still talking about his wife Berita on his Twitter page and since the alleged abuse allegedly occurred over a number of years, the couple has been separated.

Berita spoke with Dineo Ranaka on Metro FM about leaving Nota after having to put up with his outbursts, on the other hand, he doesn’t seem to think he contributed to the breakdown of his marriage.

On Tuesday of this week, he accused TikTok of destroying his marriage on Twitter, meanwhile, he claimed that the software made his wife crazy and should be outlawed.

“Banning TikTok will save marriages… My wife lost her marbles on the app!” he wrote.

Banning TikTok will save marriages… My wife lost her marbles on the app!

Nasty C departed After showing off incredible boxing and sprinting talents at the gym, TikTok users astonished their viewers.

Following the posting of a video in which Nasty C demonstrated his boxing prowess in a gym, fans on TikTok flocked to the rapper.

While he observed people commenting on his boxing skills video on TikTok, Nasty C may not have anticipated how much it would trend. Fans have expressed criticism of him after observing his lack of sincerity in the sessions he had been holding. This was just a small sample of Nasty’s abilities in the ring.

Celebrity boxing contests initially started as a joke, but now they are spectacular. In South Africa, the boxing tradition is becoming more well-known as a result of Cassper Nyovest’s high-profile fights. Nasty C appeared to be getting ready in case he was asked to compete in a celebrity boxing battle.

Of course, Nasty needs to work out harder in the gym if he wants to compete against other celebrities like Big Zulu or Cassper Nyovest.

Nasty began by striking the punching bag with unprecedented force. Although it appeared that he had been dragged into the gym, it was nice. He performed some runs on a running machine after the punching bag. Yet, his amusing mannerisms are what won him so many fans by surprise.

The SMA hitmaker appeared to be cracking a joke with his followers. But as the responses show, it affected various people in different ways. The rapper, who is 26 years old, works out quite a bit in the gym, which is a plus. Nasty C is undoubtedly improving his boxing techniques while also having fun.

Fans responded to his post by expressing how much they loved his video. Some, confident that they would defeat him in a boxing battle, challenged him to one. Another group of followers merely took in the pleasure, from his run to his boxing prowess.

A post shared by Somizi (@somizi)

A young man is heard informing Gogo (grandma) in one of the videos by @andybandeza that Somizi, DJ Tira, and Simphiwe Tshabalala perished in a car accident while travelling from OR Tambo International Airport.

Another video shows the elderly grandmother screaming after learning that Somizi had passed away from her young daughter Lebo.

“What? Somizi, is he dead? What happened?” enquired the unsuspecting granny.

While the “Dream With Somizi” star found these videos amusing, many of his fans seemed unimpressed by the pranks.
