A Metro FM Music Awards nomination has pushed Emtee into a reflective mood.
The rapper secured a spot in the Best Hip-Hop category at the 2026 awards, adding another major moment to a career that has often unfolded under intense public scrutiny.
Instead of celebrating with flashy posts, Emtee used the moment to speak about faith, resilience and surviving criticism.
Man, God you are amazing. I am grateful beyond measure. They can mock you and try to embarrass you but Jah is in charge here. No matter what, He sees me trying. You can’t keep a good man down.
The emotional message quickly drew attention because of the rapper’s history with public setbacks and industry struggles over the years.
For many supporters, the nomination represents more than just another awards nod. It also feels like recognition for an artiste who has continued rebuilding himself despite personal and professional challenges.
Emtee remains one of the most influential voices in South African hip-hop, with fans continuing to rally behind him as awards season approaches.
