Prince Kaybee silences South Africans fighting over Amapiano origination
Prince Kaybee calls out South African DJs for not crediting the originators of the House Music genre following the Amapiano saga between SA and Nigerians.
The DJ said Mzansi should allow other countries to explore with the Amapiano genre without gate keeping it.
“We are not the originators of House Music and the reason why I’m successful today is because of it. You cannot gate keep culture or else it won’t grow. Without interpretation from someone outside what you have started there is no room for growth. Never has any South African DJ credited the originators of House Music in Chicago when they drop music, infact they put the South African Flag and say South Africa to the world,” he wrote.
“Let people explore how ever they want, if they don’t mention the originators it doesn’t matter, the culture is growing.”
People came for Kaybee and dragged him for not joining other South Africans to school Nigerians and the American rapper, Swae Lee who sparked the debate on Twitter.
Nota Baloyi reacted to Prince’s tweet with, “Shut the fvck up Kabelo… You haven’t been on the charts since you started tweeting nonsense. You haven’t had a hit since you stole Calvin Harris’ melody & made that deadbeat mother Msaki suck her tummy in on the mic. Just butt out when you have nothing sensible to contribute!”
