Big Zulu applauds Emtee’s DIY 3 album

Emtee and Big Zulu might have buried the hatchet after a two-year feud.

The tension between the two rappers began when Big Zulu released his controversial diss track, 150 Bars, where he took shots at several top rap stars.Although Big Zulu clarified that the track wasn’t meant to spark hate, Emtee took offense and openly expressed his disapproval of the iMali Eningi hitmaker.

While many rappers laughed off the diss and even joined in the fun, Emtee was less forgiving, fueling a long-standing beef between the two.


Fast forward to a few weeks ago, the Roll Up rapper released his fourth studio album, DIY 3, which has been met with widespread acclaim.

In an unexpected turn of events, Big Zulu publicly endorsed the album, taking to social media to praise Emtee’s work.

“Nkabi Nation ngith cha angihalalisele uQhawe Emtee usebenze kakhulu imnandi Album lakhe Siyakubongela,” Big Zulu wrote, acknowledging the rapper’s hard work and congratulating him on the successful project.

Fans were quick to applaud Zulu for his maturity and willingness to put the beef aside.

However, Emtee’s response was subtle; instead of addressing the endorsement, he reacted with a laughing emoji, leaving fans to speculate about his feelings on the matter.

Although Emtee has yet to make a formal statement, Big Zulu’s gesture may mark the end of their feud, signaling a new chapter for the two talented artists.

Fans are hopeful that this truce could pave the way for future collaborations between the rappers.
