ABUSE CLAIMS IN 2020

This is not the first time that the couple is rocked by abuse accusations. In 2020, Emtee accused Nicole of abusing him. He also claimed that she would often call her family members to assault him.

“Both mother and daughter took turns, choking me, trying to suffocate me. Now the weight-lifting brother is threatening to kill me,” wrote Emtee on Twitter at the time.

“Can I be single, please? I’m a man of peace. Somebody, please help! She even called the police on me twice, but I was completely innocent. They even took my weed. She says I hit her but it is the other way around, and she cusses at me,” he said in another tweet.

However, Nicole released a statement saying Emtee’s allegations were fabricated and designed to “tarnish” her character.
