Last year, when Pearl Thusi interviewed Reece on Behind The Story, he mentioned that Emtee was also not happy at AE and had expressed that he'd leave.
"I’m gonna put it out how it is. You see, Emtee, he had the same feelings I had about the label and his were probably worse because they were bottled in. I remember we had a show in PLK and I was with him in the Van. It was me, him and Flame and he was like ‘yoh, you can’t even be an artist as yourself in this label because you are marginalized. I think I am going to leave sooner than I thought'– those were his words, " he said.
In a recent interview with Zikhiphani, Emtee answered the question of possible collaborations with his former record label colleagues in voiding the likes of God I Cooper and B3nchmarq.
"My frustration was just, ey, these people left. That means there's something they know that they didn’t tell us. So ya’ll leaving us here? I was just mad about that. I was like' if y'all gonna be like that, be like that. I feel like music is greater than words of exchange. Just because I said “F* you” yesterday, don’t mean I shouldn’t work with you…”

So we guess at this point, the ball is in Reece's court.
