Social media has become an indispensable tool for artists to connect with their fans, but sometimes this platform can become a nightmare. Just ask Emtee, the 31-year-old rapper known for his chart-topping hits and candid social media presence.
He recently found himself in a distressing situation when he revealed that his Emtee Records Instagram account had been hacked. Expressing his frustration, Emtee took to Twitter to vent his anger and declare his determination to track down the culprit behind the hacking.

In a tweet, he said, “Somebody hacked my Emtee Records IG page. I’m not letting this slide. When I find whoever hacked my sh*t … say, I’m not lazy to get to the bottom of this. Z’yakhala ke manje.”
Emtee has been diligently building his record label, not only by promoting his music but also by nurturing the careers of artists under the label, including Lolli Native and the recently signed Yungseruno and Lawdluv.
His dedication and hard work have paid off, as he recently made a boss move by signing a distribution deal with Empire Records in preparation for the release of his album DIY 3.
But as if that wasn’t enough excitement for Emtee, he also made another significant decision by appointing Siya Mduli, AKA’s former manager, as his new manager.
This move shows Emtee’s commitment to surrounding himself with experienced professionals who can help him take his career to new heights. In his announcement on social media, he introduced Siya Mduli as his “first ever official MANAGER with experience and a whole lotta wisdom.”
With all these positive developments in his career, the hacking incident came as a major setback for Emtee. Understandably, he would be frustrated and determined to find the person responsible for compromising his record label’s Instagram account.
Social media platforms have become essential tools for artists to connect with their fans, promote their music, and build their brand. Control over these accounts is crucial for maintaining a positive online presence and engaging with the audience.
Unfortunately, hacking is an ever-present threat in the digital world. Cybercriminals are constantly finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to personal and business accounts.
Artists, celebrities, and public figures are particularly vulnerable targets due to their large following and the potential financial gain from compromising their accounts.
Emtee’s determination to find the hacker is commendable. It’s not easy to track down cybercriminals, but with the right expertise and support, it’s possible to identify and hold them accountable for their actions.
Emtee’s fans and fellow artists have shown their support, urging him to stay strong and not let this setback discourage him.
