U.S WARNS CITIZENS IN NIGERIA OF POSSIBLE 'TERRORIST THREAT'. (PHOTO).
The fight over alleged defamation has moved back to the High Court. The Grammy-winning producer filed a contempt application, claiming Nota ignored a December 2025 order to delete posts accusing him of criminal links and to issue an apology.
Nota is appealing. He argues the ruling misapplied defamation law and violated his right to free expression. He insists he never claimed Black Coffee was guilty of crime and refuses to apologise.
His legal record weakens his position. In 2024 he served part of a 60-day contempt sentence tied to posts about rapper K.O. In 2022 he paid damages to DJ Shimza for defamation. In 2025 he issued a public apology to the South African Human Rights Commission over racist remarks.
The current clash began when Black Coffee demanded the removal of what he called false and harmful claims about his finances. Nota countered that the case is meant to silence criticism and sought R25,000 for distress allegedly caused to his mother.
The court has not ruled. A prison term remains possible.
