After 16 days behind bars, South African rapper Emtee has finally returned home.

Emtee walks free on R2 000 bail after spending 16 days in jail

Mthembeni "Emtee" Ndevu walked free on Wednesday after being granted R2 000 bail and spending 16 days in jail. His release was due to his estranged wife, Nicole Chinsamy, formally withdrawing the assault case against him. The couple, who share three children, have been going through a highly publicized and turbulent separation. Emtee's latest jail term followed the revocation of his bail in August due to breaching a 2023 protection order obtained by Chinsamy, which prohibited him from verbally abusing or harassing her, including through social media.
