Emtee’s Producer Reveals He Can’t Reach Him After A Disturbing Instagram Live
Emtee’s Producer Reveals He Can’t Reach Him After A Disturbing Instagram Live. A wave of concern has swept across the South African hip-hop scene after Emtee appeared visibly shaken during a deeply emotional Instagram Live session.
Now, one of his closest collaborators, Black Tears, has stepped forward with a heartfelt message that is resonating widely. Black Tears, born Phogole Clifort Mankge and known for producing some of Emtee’s most personal records, shared his worries in a brief but powerful social media post. His message carried both concern and unwavering loyalty.
“I’ve been trying to get in touch with my brother Emtee, but I haven’t been able to reach him,” he wrote. “I’m genuinely concerned about what he’s going through right now. Keeping him in my thoughts and prayers. I know he has the strength to overcome this. Brother for life.”
The post came shortly after Emtee’s livestream, during which the rapper broke down after revealing that royalties from his 2021 album Logan were missing, alleging that a significant sum had not reached him despite payments reportedly being processed.
He also spoke about deeply personal issues, including a reported restraining order involving his wife, losing access to his home, and being separated from his children. The rawness of the moment struck a chord, prompting an outpouring of reactions across social media.
Black Tears’ voice stands out in this moment because of the history he shares with Emtee. Their creative partnership has produced some of the rapper’s most introspective work, and their bond has long been seen as more than professional. It is a relationship rooted in brotherhood.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Emtee had not responded publicly to the message, leaving those close to him anxious about his well-being. His journey in recent years has been marked by both triumphs and challenges, from industry pressures to personal battles that have played out in the public eye.
