In an unexpected turn of events, Amapiano sensation Leehleza recently took a jab at critics, particularly Nota Baloyi, who has been vocal about his thoughts on the artist's latest track, Tobetsa 3.0.
The drama unfolded when a video surfaced on social media showing school children happily singing along to the song, raising eyebrows over its explicit content. Nota Baloyi didn't hold back, calling out Leehleza for what he labeled as inappropriate lyrics for young ears, even going so far as to accuse him of "killing" the nation.
"Murderer of the nation, @leehlezaUmshove, you’ll sweat off the weight in hell, you demon!"
In a fiery comeback, Leehleza scoffed at Baloyi's critique, implying that if listeners wanted uplifting tunes, they should check out his ex-wife's work.
"If you want motivational songs, go and listen to your ex-wife's album."
Leehleza's sharp retort comes in the wake of their messy history, as his dig at Nota was not just about music, but also a pointed jab at his personal life following the couple's divorce.
This musical feud has clearly polarized social media users. Some rallied behind Leehleza, while others sided with Nota, who deemed the song’s lyrics as "nonsense" and a detriment to society.
Despite the conflict, it appears the controversy only fueled Leehleza's popularity; Tobetsa 3.0 hit over 10 million streams on Spotify within just two months, solidifying its place as a summer anthem. The online chatter seems to have inadvertently boosted its appeal among listeners.
Social Media Reacts
As expected, social media exploded with reactions from both sides of the argument. Some users criticized Leehleza's talent, with remarks like:
"This guy is untalented, bro. Hence, he can't make a song about anything other than sex. Even the lyrics aren't that great."
Others echoed support for Nota’s perspective:
"But Nota has a point, though. You can hate him. I see his point."
Meanwhile, a handful of defenders stood up for Leehleza, pointing out the responsibility of parents and the music industry:
"Y'all call that Sister Betina song a national song, but now you're calling Leehleza names... Why not blame the school DJ for playing such songs to these kids?"
As this musical rivalry continues to unfold, the comment sections fill with heated opinions, emphasizing that debates about artistic expression and accountability are far from over. Keep an eye on the latest developments in this titillating Amapiano saga!
