Emtee: “Nobody is Playing with Me This Year”
Emtee: “Nobody is Playing with Me This Year.” South African rap sensation Emtee has stirred the pot on social media with a post that signals his return to the limelight.
Known for his candidness and unapologetic demeanour, the “Roll Up” hitmaker recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts with fans, making it clear that he’s ready to shake things up in the music industry—and beyond.
In a post that has since garnered significant attention, Emtee wrote: “I took a break from Live and talking too much. It’s time to get back to it. This time I’m exposing people. I don’t care if they hate me. Nobody is playing with me this year.”
The statement is classic Emtee—raw, direct, and laden with the promise of action. It seems the rapper is poised to reclaim his position in the game with a renewed focus, and he’s not afraid to call out those he feels have crossed him.
Over the past few months, Emtee has been relatively quiet on social media and absent from conducting his famous Instagram live. While he hasn’t delved into the specifics of his social media hiatus, it’s clear from his latest declaration that he used the time to recharge and strategize his comeback.
One of the most striking aspects of Emtee’s post is his intent to “expose people.” While he didn’t provide details, the phrase has sparked speculation among fans and industry insiders alike. Is he hinting at personal grievances, industry politics, or both? Emtee’s history of being forthright about his experiences in the music business suggests that he’s ready to shed light on issues that others might shy away from.
Regardless of the chatter, one thing is certain: Emtee’s voice remains one of the most compelling in South African hip-hop. His ability to turn personal trials into powerful narratives has endeared him to fans across the globe. Following the success of his album DIY3 in 2024, The Hustler hinted at dropping a new album titled “Nairobi” named after his daughter.
