Emtee accused of defrauding hip hop artist Lil Zara

Emtee has been accused of fraud by fellow rapper Lil Zara over a promotion deal they entered into. According to Lil Zara, he and his management engaged Emtee to promote his song and paid him in full but the Johustleburg hit maker did not render the services.

This is Lil Zaha’s account of the problem he had with Emtee. “I still cant believe how Emtee did me dirty. I paid him for a FT and still demanded money for promoting the song which i paid as well Fast forward We did a song together on my EP and Emtee went mute on me the day I dropped.

When Emtee and his manager came back to us after 2 months,I was already done with my EP. I wanted to put the Emtee song on my Ep because I knew it would elevate my EP.

Everything they asked us to pay we did even the over priced studio time and beat. Because I knew the kind of influence a person like Emtee can have on my EP.

My team and I decided to do a Preoder 2 days before the EP was released. I thought Emtee would be happy to tweet about it, since he’s always talking about uplifting young, upcoming artist but to my suprise. He wanted to be paid for posting on his Instagram and Twitter.

Emtee and his management asked 3k for promotion. we negotiated for 2k due to the fact that we had already paid a lot for the FT.

On the day of the Preorder. Emtee posted but said nothing about the Preorder i.e no link, no release date. Which left people wondering when the song will drop or if it has already dropped.

Two days later, we dropped the EP(30/07/2020) My team and I had put a marketing plan in place. We had collected over 30 challenge videos of the song i did with Emtee.

The agreement was for Emtee to do 2 posts on both Instagram and twitter. One,the song cover and the other video for the challenge encouraging his fans to join the challenge.

I sent his manager the content to post that day in the morning around 8. He blueticked and only responded around 11:50, knowing very well the campaign had already started. He said Emtee’s phone was off. But Emtee had been tweeting his own things.

Emtee was tagged on over 5000 tweets, but he still choose to ignore and continue tweeting his own tweets. Knowing very well he was paid to promote. I texted his manager telling him we at number 3, can Emtee engage, I was blue ticked.

My manager texted Emtee’s manager the following day asking what happened? He ignored and blue ticked. Mainstream artists always say they cant give handouts to upcoming artist but when we go all out, release a good EP, get a big FT and organise a proper marketing campaign. They still put us down.I am not trying to attack Emtee but truth be told. What he did is not cool.”

After being confronted, Emtee responded by calling Lil Zara all sorts of names, “So this is your survival? Talk shit about me? Lil nigga I don’t know you, Uzoyi mela? You are a hoe. This piece little Sht Lil Zara i is a fraud.”

Emtee went on with his rants at Lil Zara, “Bro that I never asked to be on that lame ass song. I was chillin being a dad and this lil bitch was blowing up my dawgs phone tryna get a feature.”
