Rapper Emtee says he's taken a decision to distance himself from those around him, including former associate Lolli Native after he left his record label.

He expressed frustration about the alleged ungratefulness of those he has helped in the past, claiming he fired Lolli.

"I don't want anyone around me. I'm no longer helping and doing sh*t for people. They are ungrateful. That's why I fired Lolli, because he is friends with people who want to kill me. Now he is playing victim and everyone is attacking me," he told TshisaLIVE. 

"This is for my safety and wellbeing. He is not a good person. He has a bad heart. He is jealous. I'm too good a person for all these people. When they had issues, who do they come to? They've forgotten. When he has a problem he comes to me.

"This n*gga never loved me in the first place. He's had the statement for a long time. He just needed a reason. I gave him the contract, but until today he never signed. I'm tired. I will not be bullied by people."

While Emtee said he is not on good terms with the rapper, Lolli maintained there is no bad blood between them. 

“During my time at Emtee Records, we accomplished a great deal, and I fully respect his decision regarding my release. I wish Emtee Records and all the artists under its wing nothing but success in the future," he wrote in a statement.

When asked to corroborate Emtee's about him putting his life in danger, Lolli Native said he had nothing negative to say about the rapper. 

"I'm forever greatful to Emtee for the opportunity he gave to me! I have nothing bad or negative to say about him."
