Rapper Emtee celebrates 10 years of sobriety

South African rapper Emtee marks 10 years of alcohol sobriety.

Taking to Twitter (now known as X), the Roll Up rapper, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, celebrated the huge milestone in a heartwarming post, giving himself a pat on the shoulder for reaching this far in his sobriety journey.

The rap star went on to call alcoholic beverages the devil.

“Mane I’m proud of myself. 10 years sober from alcohol. That thing is the devil. Stoners be down to earth like a mf,” he wrote.

Many of his fans congratulated him on this huge milestone while also sharing their sobriety journey with the rapper.

“Proud of you big hustler,” wrote a fan.

Sharing their sobriety journey, another fan added: “I’m eight years out Big Hustle. And the kush [marijuana] really does help the creative mind ease down through the unnecessary dramas we all face in our realities.”

One of his first mainstream controversies came back in 2017 when a seemingly inebriated/high Emtee accidentally flashed his penis during an Instagram Live.

“Last night was lit,” he said during the Live while relieving himself in the bathroom at his home before he accidentally pointed the camera towards his private parts as he tried to flush the toilet.

The video and screenshots of the incident quickly went viral and trended on social media.

Emtee, J-Smash and Amanda Black dropped a new single on Thursday. J-Smash took to Twitter to announce the exciting news.

He captioned the post: “Friends Ft @AmandaBlackSA & @emteerecords dropping this Thursday!! Let’s goo!!! #toxicperfectionism.
