Nota Balances Controversial Claims with Investment Details in Tell-All Interview

In a recent interview on the Own Narrative Podcast, Nota, a South African music executive, sparked discussions with his claims about the financial support he provided to his ex-wife, singer Berita, during their marriage.

Monetary Breakdown of Support for Education and Music

Nota alleges that he invested a significant amount of money in Berita’s education and music career, totaling R4.7 million (approximately $320,000 USD).

This includes R570,000 (around $39,000 USD) spent on her Master’s degree, R380,000 (approximately $26,000 USD) on album production costs, and a staggering R2.8 million (roughly $190,000 USD) to fund her education in Colombia.

A Tumultuous Split: Abuse Allegations and Reconciliation Attempts

Their separation has been highly publicized, with Berita accusing Nota of abuse.

While denying these claims, Nota maintains that they are still married, simply separated, and expresses his desire for her return.

Beyond the Financial Investment: Unconventional Relationship Details

The interview included some lighter moments, with Nota revealing that he was the first person to point out an unusual fact to Berita – that her flatulence has an odor.

However, he also cast blame on Berita’s mother for contributing to the couple’s marital problems.

Shadaya Analyzes Nota’s Interview: A Divisive Take on Marital Issues

Zimbabwean social commentator Shadaya received permission to analyze the interview.

While acknowledging Nota’s alleged abuse, Shadaya’s perspective on the broader societal issues raised in the interview has divided opinions.

Social Media, Family Influence, and Media Bias: Blaming External Factors

Shadaya highlights several factors he believes contribute to failed marriages in the modern age.

These include the negative influence of social media on women (particularly TikTok), excessive influence from female family members (citing Berita’s mother’s desire for control), and a media landscape that supposedly portrays men unfairly in domestic violence campaigns.

Economic Strain and the Loss of Respect

Shadaya concludes by suggesting that the 2008 economic crisis in Zimbabwe eroded Nota’s father-in-law’s financial standing, leading to a loss of respect from his wife’s mother.

This, he claims, exemplifies a larger societal issue where a man’s worth is tied to his ability to be a financial provider.
