Emtee Pens Heartfelt Tribute To Son Avery On His 10th Birthday
Emtee Pens Heartfelt Tribute To Son Avery On His 10th Birthday. South African hip hop heavyweight Emtee took to social media with a heartfelt message to his son, Avery, in celebration of his 10th birthday.
. The rapper, born Mthembeni Ndevu, expressed deep love and admiration in a short but emotional post: “I love you son. Happy birthday 🎂. A whole 10 piece is krazy. May all your dreams come true. 🫶🏽 You brought the beast in me at my lowest.”
The post instantly stirred emotions among fans who have long followed Emtee’s journey, both as an artist and as a father. Avery isn’t just the rapper’s firstborn; he’s also the inspiration behind Emtee’s debut album, Avery, released in 2015.
The Avery album wasn’t just a commercial success; it was a defining moment in Emtee’s career. The project introduced a new sound to the South African trap scene and birthed classics like “Roll Up,” “Pearl Thusi,” and “We Up.” The album earned Emtee multiple awards, including Best Rap Album and Song of the Year at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs), and solidified his place in the hip-hop game.
Fans often recall how Emtee dedicated the entire album to his son, naming it Avery as a promise and tribute to the boy who became his anchor during life’s most turbulent moments.
Now, a decade later, Emtee’s message serves as a powerful reminder of how fatherhood continues to shape the artist he is today. From naming a platinum-selling album after his newborn son to celebrating Avery’s 10th birthday with a lion-hearted message, it’s clear that the love runs deep.
Happy Birthday, Avery — you are, and always will be, the muse behind the music.
