Emtee Calls For Empathy As December Gig Pressure Mounts On Artists. South African hip-hop heavyweight Emtee has sparked conversation online after addressing the growing frustrations between artists, promoters and fans during the busy December performance season.
In a candid social media post, the rapper highlighted the intense demands placed on musicians, especially when they are expected to perform nonstop across different locations with little consideration for their well-being.
In his message, Emtee acknowledged the annual complaints that surface around gigs and artist availability, while urging people to remember that performers are human too. “I know there’s always complaints about artists, gigs etc especially in December. We human gang,” he wrote, adding that many only truly understand the pressure artists face when something serious happens.
He went on to question expectations placed on artists who are flown to distant destinations and still expected to deliver peak performances the very next day, comparing such demands to unrealistic standards set by legendary entertainers.
The post struck a chord with fans and fellow creatives, many of whom echoed Emtee’s call for empathy and better working conditions within the live music circuit. December is traditionally one of the most lucrative yet exhausting periods for South African artists, packed with festivals, club appearances and cross-border bookings.
Emtee’s comments add to an ongoing industry-wide conversation about balance, safety and respect for artists behind the scenes, reminding supporters that the people on stage are not machines, but individuals navigating intense schedules while trying to deliver memorable performances.
