Emtee apologises to #BBM's Mshini after their DMs leaked
The marital issues of South African rapper Emtee have once again taken centre stage, after his wife Nicole shared screenshots of direct messages he's had with other women. Among the women is Big Brother Mzansi star Mshini Lekwadu. However, she has come out to clarify the nature of their conversations, pouring water on infidelity allegations. 'I would like to address recent screenshots circulating on social media regarding my private messages with Emtee. While in the Big Brother house, I openly supported Emtee because I am genuinely a fan of his music. After the show, he reached out to me via DM to express his appreciation for my support. I responded by telling him I am a fan and that I would love to be part of one of his future music videos. 'Over time, we had brief interactions via DM, and in his last message he asked when he could visit and where I stayed. I responded with my address under the impression that our conversation was strictly business-related and in line with my support for his music. 'The screenshots shared publicly only show the part where I sent my address, without full context. This is misleading and does not reflect the nature of our conversations. My intention was purely professional, and I take my brand, my supporters, and my reputation very seriously.' Emtee went live on Instagram, expressing his interest in pursuing a relationship with Mshini. However, he later released a statement apologising to Mshini, her team and loved ones for sharing their private conversations without her consent. 'I do not know Mshini personally. Like most people I watched her on Big brother and witnessed how she supports my craft. This is something rare for me to see because I never know where I stand with people or how people feel about me. 'I know l'm not perfect. Very far from it but I have heart and empathy. My intention was to meet her personally and thank her. She has been nothing but kind to me and I appreciated that. I'm 'married' so l had no other intention but to say thank you and figure out a way we could work together since she is a public figure, a hard worker and a good person in general from what I see. 'I would like to extend an apology to Mshini, her team and loved ones. I would never intentionally expose our conversations and put her safety at risk as I prioritise safety as well.'

Next Stay Close ✕ According to Mshini, their exchanges on social media were brief and, in her view, 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.
