Emtee Refunds Abidoza After Reconciliation Day Disasterclass Performance. A powerful show of accountability and mutual respect emerged from South Africa’s music scene after Emtee fully refunded DJ Abidoza following an onstage incident that briefly caused concern among fans.
The moment took place on December 16, 2025, Reconciliation Day, during Abidoza’s fourth annual One Man Show at Lucas Masterpieces in Pretoria. Videos that later went viral showed Emtee appearing to doze off mid-performance, quickly sparking conversations online about his well-being and the pressures artists face.
Emtee’s label, eMtee Records, soon addressed the situation, explaining that the rapper had performed at five shows in a single day, an intense schedule that left him severely exhausted. Emtee went on to apologise publicly to fans who attended the event, acknowledging that the performance did not meet expectations. His team reiterated a strong focus on artist health while also exploring the possibility of a follow-up show to make things right with supporters.
More recently, fresh insight into what happened behind the scenes was shared on DJ Speedsta’s podcast Up To Speed. Speedsta revealed that Abidoza spoke highly of Emtee’s response after the show. “He actually called Doza himself, apologised, and gave him a full refund,” Speedsta said, adding that Abidoza gained even more respect for Emtee because of the gesture.
The move has been praised as a rare example of professionalism within the industry, where similar mishaps often lead to tension or public disputes. Abidoza, a well-known amapiano DJ and producer with a history of successful events, reportedly appreciated the personal outreach, strengthening the bond between the two artists despite the brief onstage mishap.
As South African hip-hop and amapiano continue to reach new audiences worldwide, moments like this highlight the respect, accountability, and unity that help sustain the culture when challenges arise.
