“No amount of money will make a song great,” – Prince Kaybee

Prince Kaybee has decided to share his thought on what makes a good music.


The star who has been in the music industry felt he needed to share his wisdom to those who are aspiring to become a musician later in future.

The musician is known to be dragged always on different issue but it did not stop him from telling people the truth.

He stated that money is not a big factor in making hit songs as people feel it is the only way.

He said: “No amount of money will make a song great. The only thing that will make a song great is the song.”

“I have seen and understood that we put too much responsibility on money, marketing, music videos and the likes. We forget about the actual song, if it will compete in the highest level on the charts. I just want artists to rely primarily on the song more than on a big budget.”

Prince Kaybee used himself as an example as he takes his fans through his musical journey.

He said one of his biggest songs, Wajellwa, had no financial backing to end as big as it did.

“I have a song called Wajellwa. The song literally made me who I am. It doesn’t have a music video. It was released for free on Datafilehost. I went to an internet cafe to release it. I had R10 to make the upload. It was produced with a laptop that was not even mine.

He stated that some of his songs blew without a music video like Professor’s Imoto. 

He said all you have to do is to be committed, invest and be able to produce good stuffs anytime but do not depend on money immediately.

“I’m not saying money doesn’t play a role, but what are you saying about the songs with big budgets and dololo relevance? All I am saying is money does not make your song good, you do. Commit to the task, invest in producing good songs and worry about budgets later,” he said.
