The ongoing legal dispute between rapper Emtee and his estranged wife Nicole Chinsamy has taken a new turn, with Emtee filing for a protection order against her. According to documents obtained by TimesLIVE, Emtee alleges that Chinsamy has been harassing and threatening him since his release from custody on September 2. Emtee claims that Chinsamy has been making threats against him and his new partner, Nandipha Ndathane, and has been physically abusive in the past.
Nicole Chinsamy has strongly refuted Emtee's claims, stating that this is another attempt to tarnish her name and dodge parental obligations. Chinsamy claims that Emtee's allegations are untrue and that he has provided no evidence to substantiate his claims. She also questioned how Emtee's new partner, Nandipha, is affected by the alleged abuse, as she is not a party to their dispute. Chinsamy expressed her disappointment in the court process, citing that she was previously denied an interim order against Emtee despite providing evidence of physical abuse.
Emtee and Chinsamy's relationship has been marred by allegations of abuse and violence. In 2023, Chinsamy obtained a protection order against Emtee, prohibiting him from verbally abusing her or harassing her on social media. However, WhatsApp text messages seen by TimesLIVE show Emtee conveying insults at Chinsamy, including calling her a prostitute, a witch, and a "retard". Emtee's bail was revoked in August after he allegedly sent text messages to Chinsamy, violating the protection order.
Chinsamy has expressed her desire for a healthy, constructive co-parenting relationship with Emtee, but claims that this desire is one-sided. She stated that Emtee has not been cooperative or constructive since his release from prison and has not made any attempts to be present in the lives of their three children. Chinsamy also claimed that Emtee's protection order was sought to provide him with a valid reason not to be present in the kids' lives and to avoid taking care of them financially.
Emtee's protection order application makes reference to Chinsamy getting him wrongfully arrested, which Chinsamy denies. She claims that she had received abusive and threatening text messages from Emtee's phone, which violated the protection order, and that she later found out in court that his girlfriend was the one who had actually sent those messages. Chinsamy also stated that Emtee has continuously verbally abused her, despite being prohibited from doing so by her protection order.
The couple's divorce is still underway, and attempts to reach Emtee and Nandipha through their managers and direct calls were unsuccessful. Chinsamy expressed her frustration with the situation, stating that she is tired of all the drama and wants to move on with her life. She also emphasized that she has never and will never have any desire to harm Emtee, despite everything he has put her through.
The protection order application has raised concerns about the court's process and the potential for abuse of the system. Chinsamy's lawyer may need to review the application and provide further insight into the situation.
