South African Rapper Emtee Released On R2,000 Bail After 16 Days in Custody
South African hip-hop artist Emtee, whose real name is Mthembeni Ndevu, has been granted R2,000 bail following a 16-day stint in jail.
The award-winning musician was arrested last month after allegedly violating the conditions of a protection order filed against him.
Details surrounding the breach remain brief, but authorities confirmed that the rapper appeared in court earlier today, where his legal team successfully secured his temporary release.
This legal hurdle comes amid a series of personal and professional challenges for the star, who has frequently made headlines regarding his turbulent personal life.
As part of his bail conditions, Emtee is required to refrain from making contact with the complainant and must appear at his next scheduled court date.
The investigation into the matter is still ongoing.
