Emtee voices frustration over record label’s empty promises

Award-winning rapper Emtee the Hustla, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, released a statement on Monday regarding the delay in releasing music for his D.I.Y 3 project.

The project has been in the works for over a year, and Emtee claims he has no control over it despite having completed the recording.

Emtee claims he has no control over his project despite being done recording.

In his statement, Emtee expressed frustration over being signed to the music label for a year without seeing any benefits for his career.

What Emtee said

“I cannot remember one thing that has been done for me by them. I organise my own shows, people steal from me, so they laugh and say, ‘he lost it all’, nah bi#ch you stole from me,” he wrote.

He mentioned that he met with the CEO of his own record label, Emtee Records, 365 days ago, adding that his supporters, family, friends, and colleagues have been inquiring about the album.

“This has to be the worst moment in my life. I cannot post anything without being asked by millions of supporters about my album,” he said.

“Ambitious was hell, but they did not keep me waiting for a whole year to even give a F@*k about me.”

In September 2019, Emtee established his own record label under his company, African Trap Movement.

Before signing with Ambitiouz Entertainment, he was part of the rap group African Trap Movement alongside fellow rappers Sjava, Saudi, and their producer Ruff.

In September, Emtee stated that he decided to distance himself from those around him, including former associate Lolli Native, after leaving his record label.

He expressed his frustration over the perceived ungratefulness of those he had previously helped, claiming he fired Lolli.
