Black Coffee dragged music executive Nota Baloyi to court after the guy spent weeks posting wild accusations online about the DJ hanging with criminals and doing shady financial stuff. The Grammy-winning producer wants the posts yanked down and is demanding a written apology that he gets to dictate word for word, plus he wants Baloyi to cover legal costs at the highest rate possible.
Baloyi fired back, saying this whole thing is about shutting down free speech rather than actual defamation, and he claims everything he posted was either true or fair commentary. The music exec also accused Black Coffee of trying to intimidate him by reaching out directly to his mom, and he wants the court to toss the case while ordering the DJ to pay him 25 grand for causing his family stress. Baloyi is asking for a delay until he gets documents he thinks will back up his claims, and he argues the case should not even count as urgent since the posts sat online for weeks before anyone did anything about them.
