A live vote campaign calling for rapper Emtee to headline a show at FNB Stadium has gained very little traction online, with supporters falling far short of the target. SA music curator @RealSihleIV drew attention to the numbers on Wednesday, 23 September 2026, questioning why fans aren't rallying behind the Roll Up hitmaker.
Emtee's FNB Stadium vote falls short
The campaign, which allows one vote per email address, had recorded just 12 228 registrations at the time of posting. FNB Stadium in Johannesburg seats 94 736 people, meaning the vote had only reached 12.91% of the venue's capacity, with a mere 44 votes logged on the day.
"Only 12 228 people signed the live vote for Emtee to fill up FNB in 2 weeks," @RealSihleIV wrote, adding, "It's not looking good why are ya'll not supporting Emtee??"

Mzansi divided over Emtee's stadium potential
The post split opinions sharply, with many fans questioning whether the rapper, who has been in the news for the wrong reasons, is ready for a stage that size. Here's what people had to say:
@TylerSydSA said:
"Why would I want to watch someone who is so slow and high on stage at the biggest stadium in Africa? No way, he must start at a community hall and prove to us he can perform."
@mfundocj wrote:
"I'm buying 10 tickets if this is a success, but I don't see a reason to sign a petition, and I will be back here when the tickets are sold out. This is not A-reece"
@trossard_tax was blunt:
"He ain't never wanted to do that show; some randoms want it for him. So nope! We are not all delusional"
@DaddyFlexy simply noted:
"The link didn't reach us 🤷🏾♂️"
@reth_able added:
"He must focus on filling up a smaller venue; all the artists that filled up FNB Stadium started with smaller venues."
