Emtee Sparks Mixed Reactions With Pro-Weed Remarks

Emtee Sparks Mixed Reactions With Pro-Weed Remarks. Since his emergence in South African Hip Hop, Emtee has consistently delivered a string of chart-topping hits.

The rapper skyrocketed to fame with the release of “Roll Up” in 2015, a track that not only dominated the South African music scene but also became a street anthem across various African nations neighbouring South Africa.

Amidst his array of successful music releases, Emtee has found himself under the scrutiny of public criticism, particularly concerning his indulgence in weed. In a candid moment on X, the award-winning rapper revealed that the very song which propelled him to musical stardom, “Roll Up,” is centred around the theme of weed. “The song that got me out of poverty is about weed,” wrote Emtee.

Emtee’s recent comments sparked a flurry of mixed reactions among his followers, drawing a sharp divide between critics and supporters. While some chastised his advocacy, urging him to stick solely to his music, others lauded his outspokenness and encouraged him to continue championing causes important to him.

Emtee‘s “Roll Up” is a single released on his album “Avery” (2015). It achieved significant recognition in South Africa, even winning “Song of The Year” at the 2015 South African Hip Hop Awards. Emtee’s smooth rapping style and catchy flow complement the laid-back beat, creating a vibe that resonated with South African audiences. The song’s success was further amplified by a remix featuring fellow South African rappers AKA and Wizkid.
