Emtee has officially left Ambitiouz Entertainment 

By: Phakeme Mnguni

Emtee has finally broke the dead silence on his position at Ambitiouz Entertainment. This comes after months of speculation regarding his position at Ambitiouz Entertainment.

The rapper took it to social media to announce that he has parted ways with his label that he's been signed to since 2015.

 "Following a long and in-depth reflection on my career as an artist, where I am and where I see myself in the next few years, I have made a decision that time has come for me to now part ways with  Ambitiouz Entertainment," the statement read.

The Roll Up artist added that he got legal help in getting out of his binding contract with the label.

"This is a decision I did not make lightly and without due consideration. As a matter of fact, once the idea took root in my mind, my first reaction was to seek legal advice on my contractual obligations to the label if at all and secondly, the steps needed to do this, in the most swift and amicable way possible."

On the back of this, my attorney reached out to Ambitiouz Entertainment requesting all necessary documents that would assist in creating a smooth transition. After much back and forth between my attorneys and Ambitiouz Entertainment, my attorneys confirmed that there was no reason I could not leave Ambitiouz Entertainment to pursue my career as I saw it fit."

It is evident that Emtee has been unhappy with the label since earlier this year. He once shared on twitter that he didn't have a tour for his 2018 release DIY 2 because the label did not make it happen.

He has joined the long list of the artists who has left the Label for its lack of artistic freedom and financial irregularities. The list include A-reece, Fifi Cooper, B3nchmarq, Priddy Ugly, Amanda Black, and  Gigi lamayne.

Looking at this long list, one cannot help but wonder whether this is the beginning of the end for the Record Label.
