The unfolding saga between Emtee Records and rising star Babygirlzae has taken a dramatic turn, leaving fans confused about the truth behind her alleged departure from the label. On 08 April 2026, Emtee Records released a formal announcement declaring that Zae was no longer signed, affiliated, or associated with the label in any capacity. The post, which quickly gained traction on social media, wished her well in her future endeavors. Shortly after, another statement surfaced, this time jointly branded with Emtee Records and Babygirlzae; dismissing the earlier announcement as inaccurate. It claimed that no direct communication from Emtee himself had confirmed any separation, stressing that only Emtee has the authority to make such contractual decisions. According to this response, Zae remains part of the label.
Adding fuel to the fire, Zae released a video addressing the controversy. In it, she insists that she and Emtee are still “cool and tight,” and that the fallout is not coming from him but rather from his wife, Nicole.
Zae alleges that Nicole has access to Emtee’s phone and social media accounts. She claims Nicole is the one blocking her on both Emtee’s personal and Emtee Records’ accounts. Zae believes Nicole is behind the posts announcing her departure, not Emtee himself. Despite repeated attempts to call and reach Emtee, Zae says she has been unsuccessful.

Zae urged fans not to misinterpret the situation, insisting that there is no bad blood between her and Emtee himself. Instead, she framed the controversy as a misunderstanding fueled by outside interference and promised that her respect for Emtee as both an artist and a person remains intact.
