‘I’VE BEEN GETTING DEATH THREATS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS’ — EMTEE WANTS TO GET ‘ARMED SECURITY’

‘I’VE BEEN GETTING DEATH THREATS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS’ — EMTEE WANTS TO GET ‘ARMED SECURITY’.

Emtee is looking to get armed security for his protection.

After the death of AKA, who was assassinated on Friday outside a restaurant on Florida street in Durban, the rapper recently took to his Twitter timeline revealing he and his team were in search of armed body guards.

“They started with DJ Sumbody, now AKA. Word on the streets is that either me or {another young rapper} are next. I received a message from this mysterious figure. I blocked him first time now he’s using another number,” he told TshisaLIVE.

In December Emtee went live on Instagram while wearing a bulletproof vest speaking of how he was fearing for his life after the death of musician and businessman Oupa John “DJ Sumbody” Sefoka, who was shot dead on November 20.

“People want to extort me for money I don’t have. After DJ Sumbody died, I got a message saying; ‘You are next’. I’ve been getting death threats for the past 2 years.” 

Emtee claimed he’s been receiving death threats on his phone from unknown numbers for the past two years.

The rapper shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp text he’d received which reads; “You think you’re smart. I won’t leave a tiny stone unturned.”

When asked if he had approached the police about the threats, Emtee responded: “I always do but you know cops are useless.”

During his sit down with Da L.E.S in 2022 Emtee spoke about how the recent deaths had traumatised him. 

“I am traumatised by a lot of deaths that have been going on, especially of people you’ve come across, felt their energy, embraced them. It messes with me in a way. I think it makes me more antisocial.”
