Emtee Seeks New Leadership. South African rap star Emtee has made an appeal for professional support — not in the studio or during performances. This time, the request is directed at the corporate level.
In a post on social media, the Roll Up artist shared a simple yet impactful statement:
“I’m in need of a manager. A real one.”
This concise yet powerful declaration has generated significant discussion within the music industry, with fans, fellow artists, and record executives speculating on the implications for Emtee’s future. Renowned for his candidness and straightforward expression, Emtee has always been open about discussing both personal challenges and business issues, making this announcement feel more significant than a mere job request.
His emphasis on needing “a real one” suggests a quest for someone who embodies loyalty, honesty, and industry insight — an individual who will not merely handle administrative tasks but will actively advocate for the artist and his brand.
Having established himself as a mainstay in SA hip hop, Emtee is celebrated for his hit tracks like Roll Up, Manando, and Waves. However, his path has not been free of challenges. From a very public split with his former label Ambitiouz Entertainment to forging an independent path with Emtee Records, he has frequently had to navigate both the creative and business sides of his career.
