Black Coffee Reportedly Seeks Jail Time for Nota Baloyi Amid Defamation Case. Black Coffee is reportedly looking to have Nota Baloyi thrown in jail over their ongoing defamation case Nota is accused of allegedly violating a court order related to his defamatory social media posts, and reports suggest that the DJ wants him punished
The latest developments in the case were met with mixed reactions online, where some users accused Black Coffee of abusing his power, while others criticised Nota for not learning his lesson
The legal feud between DJ Black Coffee and controversial media figure Nota Baloyi has reached a fever pitch.
According to an update by MDN News on Sunday, 15 February 2026, the Grammy Award-winner is seeking jail time for Baloyi after he allegedly ignored a court order to remove his defamatory social media posts about the DJ.
The battle stems from a December 2025 ruling by the High Court that ordered Baloyi to remove posts accusing Black Coffee of criminal conduct and association with criminals. He was also ordered to issue a formal apology.
Nota later filed an appeal and argued that the court wrongly applied defamation laws and violated his right to free speech.
Nota also hit back with a counterclaim, accusing Black Coffee of using his money and power to bully critics. In his court papers, MDN News reveals that Nota demanded R25,000 for the distress he says the situation has caused his mother.
Meanwhile, Coffee is said to be seeking a 60-day prison sentence for the disgraced podcaster for ignoring the court order, which wouldn’t be the first time he served jail time for his controversial social media statements.
