‘MESSY DIVORCE’
Earlier this year, Nicole opened a case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm (GBH) against the Roll Up rapper, which she later withdrew.
In May this year, Nicole accused him of trying to bankrupt their joint estate after he allegedly transferred over R500 000 from their trust account, Sunday World reported. However, Emtee later undertook to pay back the money.

According to the court papers, wherein she filed an interdict to force Emtee to pay back the money he transferred, Nicole revealed that they married in community of property in 2019.
She stated that she wanted the trust fund untouched until they finalised their divorce. In addition, the court interdict was to stop Emtee from taking loans against their assets, squandering their assets, depleting the bank account of Emtee Records or trust account or selling shares in Africa Trap Movement, as she says that she, too, is entitled to the assets.
