Prince Kaybee’s beef with fans

- ENTERTAINM­ENT REPORTER

PRINCE Kaybee made Time Magazine’s top 10 “Best Songs of 2020” list, but it seems the DJ has a bone to pick with Mzansi.

While Mzansi is celebratin­g this monumental occasion, the multiaward- winning artist, who doesn’t mince his words, especially on social media, stated that he doesn’t feel “celebrated enough”.

Taking to Twitter, in response to the announceme­nt by entertainm­ent commentato­r and TV host Phil Mphela, Prince Kaybee expressed his disappoint­ment, insisting that, although he’s excited about the recognitio­n, he wished someone else would have “gotten the nod”.

He said: “I wish someone else could’ve gotten the nod, really tired of these wins and don’t get celebrated enough.”

It seems the statement has left a bitter taste in the mouth of many of his fans, with many saying Prince Kaybee should stop with his “drama” and celebrate this huge milestone.

The hit single Uwrongo features Mzansi’s crème de la crème of the music industry: Shimza, Black Motion and Ami Faku.

Released earlier this year, the song sets the tone for what has become Prince Kaybee’s biggest breakthrou­gh year on the global music scene.

Music lovers globally have relished in this authentic African release, which took the number one spot on the Radiomonit­or Top 100 Airplay Chart, spending 26 weeks in the Top 100 and surpassing 650 million impression­s on the radio.

Prince Kaybee’s consistenc­y with producing hit after hit has earned him numerous accolades this year including a Sound City Award from Nigeria and a third consecutiv­e Dstv Mzansi Magic Award for Song of The Year.

The star emerged a big winner at this year’s South African Music Awards (# SAMA26). He walked away with Album of the Year for

Re Mmino, Male Artist of the Year and Best Produced Music Video for Fetch Your Life, which features awardwinni­ng vocalist, Msaki.
