South African fashion enthusiast and social media personality and significant other of SA rapper Nasty C, .Ntombizodwa Beatrice Sibanyoni, has finally released her much delayed official music debut. Her boyfriend has made a name for himself in South Ah and internationally, and some of that talent must have rubbed off on his long-time girlfriend, popularly known as Sammie Heavens.

The EP titled ‘July’ was released on Friday, July 8, 2022, after several months of both Sammie and Nasty C posting videos of the model rapping on Instagram Live, fans thought it was just a hobby but this EP has proven them wrong.

It is quite apparent that the lyricism on the 4 track EP is similar to some of Nasty C’s works, in style, flow, and pockets. If Nasty C actually offered help in the writing process of the project it won’t come as a surprise as Nasty C has allegedly worked as a ghostwriter for several stars in the past, including ‘Boity‘ on her hit debut ‘Wuz Dat,‘ allegedly.

Nasty C even said on his 2020 hit ‘There They Go’,  ‘radio will never know the tracks I wrote, me vs me that’s ghost and GOAT.’ The Durban rapper also mentioned on his VLADTV interview and his Zulu Man with Some Power Podcast  that he had written songs for several artists

Controversial South African hip hop A&R and label executive Nota Baloyi, popularly known for managing Katlehong rapper Kwesta  in his earlier career, has been facing divorce rumours and noe the news juat got worse as his now ex-wife has claimed on Twitter that she has been fighting for her life since she decided to leave Nota.

After Gugulethu Khumalo popularly known as Berita announced their separation, the pop culture commentator whose real name is Nhlamulo Baloyi, took to his Twitter account to speak about mental health and ostensibly deny the divorce rumours. “I will fight for family values… No matter the cost. I will fight abusers. I will fight those that objectify women!” he tweeted.

He went on to claim that he was on a “mission to save black women,” and added that “Any woman that gets in the way is an enemy agent my fellow sisters the enemy is among you… There are women selling women into prostitution. There are women defending abusers and there are women who will stand by those that objectify women!” He then went on to address mental health and men’s relationship with the topic.

“Men mental health is always weaponised against us that’s why we find it hard to talk. I speak openly about how I have actively taken care of my mental health since I was 4-years old. On the 20th of January I had suicidal ideation. My family were terrified. I was all alone.

Nota claimed that his wife did not make the divorce tweets but her publicist was the one using the account as Berita is currently in Zimbabwe and has not used social media in months.

Not long after Berita took to her Twitter to claim that she  has been fighting for her lif since making the divorce public and blames Nota’s glitching mental health for the annulment of their marriage.
