Emtee publicly addresses the controversy surrounding leaked messages with former Big Brother Mzansi contestant Mshini Lekwadu. Image: Instagram Emtee has addressed the controversy surrounding leaked private messages between himself and former 'Big Brother Mzansi: Umlilo' contestant Sphesihle 'Mshini' Lekwadu, taking to Instagram to issue a public apology. In two screenshots from his notes app, posted on Tuesday with the caption 'I am sorry', Emtee shared a lengthy statement in which he exempted himself from the way the messages surfaced online. He said he does not know Mshini personally, but, like many viewers, watched her on 'Big Brother' and noticed how she supported his work. According to Emtee, it is rare for him to see such genuine support because he is often unsure of where he stands with people. He admitted he is 'not perfect' but stressed that his intentions were to meet her in person to thank her and possibly collaborate, given her public profile and work ethic. Video Player is loading.

The award-winning rapper also apologised directly to Lekwadu, her team and her loved ones, saying he would never deliberately reveal their private conversations or jeopardise her safety. 'I would never intentionally expose our conversations and put her safety at risk as I prioritise safety as well,' he said. Emtee further insisted that he was not responsible for making the screenshots public, adding in capital letters, 'I DID NOT POST THE CONVERSATIONS.' This comes after his wife, Nicole Kendall Chinsamy, shared screenshots of his private chats with multiple women, including Lekwadu, sparking cheating allegations. This led to Lekwadu issuing a statement to clarify the private conversation she had with the rapper. Both Emtee and the reality star have since maintained that their exchanges were nothing more than professional.

She said Emtee later asked when he could visit and where she lived, and she shared her address because she believed the discussion was 'strictly business-related' and connected to her support for his work. She also disputed the way the messages were presented online, saying the screenshots only showed the part where she sent her address, without the full context. Mshini emphasised that this was misleading and did not accurately represent the nature of their conversation. She stressed that her 'intention was purely professional' and that she values her brand, supporters, and reputation.
