The award-winning rapper took to social media to share his frustrations, emphasizing that while he remains a proud representative of South Africa, the relentless threats and online harassment have reached an intolerable level.

In a tweet, the creator of the “Logan” album conveyed his concerns, stating, “I wanna move out of South Africa. I’ma represent 🇿🇦 till the death but hayi seng’deleleke kakhulu la. Death threats every day, you go through a rough patch people laugh at you. The broke and arrogant one at that.”

Facing a barrage of online trolling, Emtee hinted at his readiness to relocate for the sake of finding peace.
