"I’m not letting things slide. I invested in that man. Ima hit him up, and he has to pay me," said Emtee. He further stated, "When I see Flash, Imma whip him with a belt."

Flash responded to this and said he got co-signed by Emtee on 17 January 2021, but he had already started pushing his music and shooting music videos.

"I paid R20,000 for the music video for Mhluzi. Emtee introduced me to Ofentse, and we pushed. In three months we made 100K views which is when I decided to drop Mhluzi remix and I paid R15,000. That got 25k views in one day.

"I was pushing myself while under Emtee Records, but Emtee helped me out on social media a lot. He has a large following, so he posted about me almost every week. That is how I got many followers and views. But I was the one paying for my content. I did a lot of yhings using my money. He only helped me get exposure."

What went wrong between Emtee and Flash Ikumkani?

So, where did their relationship go wrong? Well, Flash explained to Briefly News that after Emtee's friend and manager, Lebohang 'Lebo' Maswanganyi passed away, Flash Ikumkani walked away from the rapper's label.

This was because he was traumatised by their lifestyle. Flash thought he was surrounded by hustlers who were serious about chasing dreams.

"After his friend died, I decided to leave the label because I was traumatised. I looked up to them. When I saw their lifestyle, I was so disappointed. I thought when I met Emtee or any big artist, I was going to blow up because I was ready. I had a lot of songs already. Even my hit song Mhluzi, I paid for PR to get the song playing on TV. So I was dissappointed with a lot of things so I decided to just leave them."
