South African rapper Emtee has ignited another debate after sharing details about his highly publicised break-up with his estranged wife, Nicole Chinsamy.

On 26 June 2026, the rapper visited the All the Smoke podcast, hosted by Tshego and BU Mthembu, where he spoke candidly about his relationship with the mother of his kids.

During the sit-down, the Roll Up rapper was asked whether he was "officially divorced," to which he dropped a bombshell, claiming his ex was deliberately stalling the process of their divorce.

"She doesn't wanna sign the papers."

The couple had been married for about seven years after officially tying the knot in 2019. They had been together for over 10 years.

Over the years, people admired the rapper for being a family man, maintaining a marriage and a stable household despite the intense pressures and negative influences within the music industry. In an environment where celebrity relationships often crumble quickly, Emtee and Nicole's long-term bond was seen as a rare success story.

However, the foundation of their marriage later crumbled following allegations of domestic abuse, marking the beginning of the end of their relationship.

Having recently been granted bail after allegedly violating a protection order Chinsamy had filed against him in 2023, the rapper revealed that not all is lost after managing to move on and find love again.

Briefly News previously reported that Emtee was in a relationship with another musician by the name Nandi Ndathane. During his interview on All the Smoke, he revealed that they had been dating for just over two weeks, though they had known one another for much longer.
