Controversial promoter and music executive Nota Baloyi is shuddering after escaping with injuries after he was hit by a car in America. Nota who has been in America for a few months says he was walking home in Central Park West, Manhattan after visiting friends when the incident happened. According to Nota, a driver rammed into him just two blocks from his home last week.
Speaking to ZiMoja, Nota says he tried to avoid the car. "I tried to avoid the car, but the driver accelerated and slammed the brakes after impact. I rolled onto his bonnet and was thrown off by the sudden stop, landing on my right shoulder, which shielded my head, leaving a graze on my right shoulder blade and a cut on my right brow," he said. He was taken to hospital where he says he spent a few hours being assessed and treated for the injuries before he was released after tests showed that he had no internal injuries or bone fractures.
He said he was using the American Labour Day long weekend for some downtime and recovery. "Yes, I fell and got hurt, but I pushed through the pain and got right back up again. I'm grateful for all the well wishes from friends and followers," he said. He said he will be back to work preparing to go on US tour with DJ Sbu in two weeks. He previously promoted NYC Tour stops for DBN Gogo and Musa Keys. Nota added that he is not missing South Africa yet, but he only plans on returning after celebrating Christmas with his new US family and friends.
