Emtee sparks backlash after being caught sleeping on stage
South African rapper Emtee has faced criticism after a video emerged showing him seemingly falling asleep mid-performance.
In the footage, Emtee stands on stage with a microphone, appearing ready to perform, but gradually dozes off while still upright, leaving the audience confused and concerned.
“Imagine paying to see an artist and he sleeps on stage,” captioned one post sharing the clip.
The situation ended when a security guard escorted him offstage, abruptly halting the performance.
Social media quickly reacted, with fans questioning Emtee’s professionalism and dedication. Some speculated about alcohol or substance use contributing to the incident:
- “Eh, this one is drinking his career. What is it that he smokes? This can’t be weed,” wrote one user.
- “Thought he said he’s off the shandis mos, but big up to the hun, she really tried her best,” commented another.
- “Damn, I’d rather listen to his music on my phone,” a fan added bluntly.
- “He’s very intentional in ending his career. Sad because he’s super talented but doesn’t take himself or his fans seriously,” another user noted.
This incident adds to a history of on-stage mishaps for the rapper, highlighting ongoing concerns about his live performances.
