CONTROVERSIAL award-winning hip hop artist, Emtee, allegedly received a hot klap from fellow rapper, Riky Rick.
Witnesses said the Roll Up hitmaker, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, was allegedly given a tshisa mpama by Ricardo Makhado after a heated argument that took place at the Durban Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre, on Friday – the eve of the Samas.
This when they went to collect their goodie bags.
Sources claimed Emtee was shocked by Riky’s hot klap.
“It was as if they were arguing about something, but I failed to hear what they were arguing about.
“While I was trying to listen to what they were arguing about, Riky unleashed a thunderous tshisa mpama on Emtee and he didn’t fight back,” a witness said.
Another witness claimed: “After he was klapped by Riky, I think the two met privately and resolved the matter, because Emtee then took to Instagram and posted a picture of them hugging.
“The sad thing is Riky has removed the picture since he was tagged.
“The caption posted on Instagram by Emtee read: Thank you big brother, which meant Emtee was acknowledging his mistake.
“And Riky didn’t bother to comment on it.”
When the SunTeam contacted Emtee for comment, he said: “It was a minor incident. There was no tshisa mpama there.
“Why do you guys always write negative things about me? I’ve been nominated for the BETs, but you’re busy asking about things that have nothing to do with you.
“We spoke about the little misunderstanding we had with Riky and we’re cool. What the misunderstanding was about is none of your business.”
Yesterday Riky confirmed there was an argument, but denied klapping Emtee.
“We did have some misunderstanding. We dealt with it and now we’re fine,” he said.
