South African rapper Emtee, real name Mthembeni Ndevu, recently trended on social media following his appearance on Mac G’s podcast, Podcast and Chill.
How he spoke during the interview has raised concerns among fans and fellow artists. Video clips from the interview quickly went viral, showing a stark difference in his demeanour compared to previous appearances.
Many have speculated that Emtee’s erratic behaviour is linked to his alleged drug use, specifically Nyaope, a potent and dangerous street drug.
Emtee has been called out multiple times for being a drug addict, although he has previously stated that he only smokes weed and doesn’t consume alcohol.
However, the recent clips have led people to believe otherwise, with some even sharing before-and-after videos highlighting changes in his behaviour and speech.
The public outcry has been significant, with many urging that Emtee seek professional help. Chris Excel, Nota, and other public figures have voiced their concerns, stating that the rapper needs to be taken to rehab.
One X user poignantly remarked, “Emtee was coming all good until the Nyaope dosage went up. Here, he had a vision, he was so smart and articulate. Unlike now where he can’t even utter a statement without sounding like an old stuttering grandpa. Take him to rehab, we need this Emtee back.”
As the debate continues, the focus remains on getting Emtee the help he needs to overcome his alleged addiction.
While it’s clear that the rapper is struggling, the support from his fans and peers could be the catalyst for his recovery. Only time will tell if Emtee will heed the calls for help and take steps toward rehabilitation.

I know people who’ve been smoking weed for many years but weed doesn’t make you look like that
Only a Nyoape can make a man speak in slow motion and look like that … https://t.co/pxdP8PdfCq
