Emtee
South African rapper Emtee has come under fire after a video surfaced showing him appearing to fall asleep on stage during a live performance.
In the clip, Emtee is seen standing in front of the crowd with a microphone in his hand, seemingly ready to perform, but instead dozing off while still on his feet.
The moment left concertgoers confused and uncomfortable as the performance stalled.
“Imagine paying to see an artist and he sleeps on stage,” read the caption shared alongside the footage.
The situation escalated when a security guard eventually walked the rapper off the stage, bringing the performance to an abrupt end.
Social media users were quick to react, with many questioning Emtee’s professionalism and commitment to his fans.
Several commenters speculated that alcohol or substance use may have played a role.
“Eh, this one is drinking his career. What is it that he smokes? This can’t be weed,” one user wrote.
Another commented, “Thought he said he’s off the shandis mos, but big up to the hun, she really tried her best.”
Others were more blunt in their criticism. “Damn, I’d rather listen to his music on my phone,” one user said, while another added, “He’s very intentional in ending his career. Sad because he’s super talented but doesn’t take himself or his fans seriously.”
This incident adds to a list of past on-stage mishaps involving the rapper, including previous moments where performances were disrupted.
