‘I know I'm not perfect': Emtee addresses leaked controversial DMs
Emtee (33), whose real name is Mthembeni Ndlovu, has found himself in hot water after DMs (direct messages) of him allegedly flirting with women surfaced and he has responded after going viral.
The drama unfolded when a string of Instagram stories was posted on his personal Instagram page, consisting of private and intimate messages between him and several women.
The posts have sparked concern and speculation about the state of his marriage and emotional well-being.
In one screenshot, Emtee strikes up a conversation with Siphesihle Lekwadu, commonly known as Mshini, a reality TV star from the Big Brother Mzansi S5 show.
In the screenshot, he enquires about her residence and the best time to visit her, and they decide on a face-to-face meeting with Mshini, giving out her residential address.

Mshini quickly responded to the allegations through a statement dismissing rumours of a romantic or sexual relationship with Emtee.
'The screenshots shared publicly only show the part where I sent my address, without the full context. This is misleading and does not reflect the nature of our conversations,' reads part of the statement.
Mshini's statement
This isn't the first time Emtee has been involved in relationship drama.
He and his estranged wife, Nicole Kendall Chinsamy, have had a tumultuous relationship, frequently airing their grievances on social media.
Emtee issued a statement extending his apologies to Mshini for the controversy and clarified that he wanted to meet up with her to thank her.
'My intention was to meet up with her and thank her. She has been nothing but kind to me, and I appreciated that.'
