Emtee back in custody after breach of protection order
The rapper appeared in court on Monday, 18 August.
Rapper Emtee, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, has been rearrested by authorities following an alleged violation of a protection order involving his ex-wife, Nicole Chinsamy. The rapper appeared in Midrand Magistrate’s Court on Monday, August 18. The protection order, issued in 2023, bars Emtee from verbally abusing or harassing Chinsamy on social media.
According to TshisaLIVE, Emtee's bail was revoked after he reportedly sent WhatsApp messages to Chinsamy, despite the bail conditions prohibiting any form of communication between them. This marks the rapper's second arrest this year in connection with the ongoing dispute. In June, Emtee spent a night in the Midrand police station after allegedly breaching the same protection order, subsequently being released on R1,000 bail.
The latest court appearance occurs in the wake of Emtee's recent public apology to his children and others affected by the contentious situation. In a statement shared on social media, the rapper expressed remorse, stating, "To my children, I am deeply sorry that they have had to witness aspects of our personal lives become public."
