Emtee, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, passed out on stage during a live performance in Pretoria on 16 December. In a statement released on Friday, Emtee’s management said the rapper was fatigued due to a busy schedule. “Following an exceptionally busy summer season with back-to-back shows across the country, Emtee had an ambitious schedule on December 16, performing at five venues, a testament to his dedication to connecting with fans,” the statement reads.
“Unfortunately, the demanding pace took its toll, and fatigue impacted his ability to deliver the high-energy show our fans expect in Pretoria.” Emtee Records said they are working with event organisers to schedule a follow-up show. “We acknowledge the disappointment this caused and appreciate the understanding of our loyal supporters. Emtee is deeply sorry for falling short of expectations and is committed to making it right.
We’re working closely with event organisers to schedule a follow-up show, ensuring our fans in Pretoria experience the unforgettable performance they deserve,” the statement said. “It’s extremely sad and disappointing to see Emtee sabotage himself so deeply. What also bothers me is that his bookings management team and entourage do nothing to hold him accountable.
