About

Prince Kaybee is one of our favourite artists who bring in the greatest hits. When his hit 'Club Controller' got onto the music scene, it immediately got everybody dancing.

Personal Life 

Prince Kaybee is one of South Africa’s most popular musicians. He is a talented percussionist and DJ. He was born in Senekal, near Welkom in South Africa, on 15 June 1989. Despite his obvious talent, Prince Kaybee has had anything but an easy childhood.

He is the youngest of 36 siblings and lived alone with his mother for most of his childhood. He has often commented on not knowing much about his 35 siblings as they all lived in different houses and only met them all at his father’s funeral when they were all called to the podium. 

As for his education, Prince Kaybee dropped out of school in grade 11 because his mother could no longer afford his schooling.  

The same year, Prince Kaybee had a romantic rendezvous with a young girl and impregnated her. Afraid of the consequences, Prince Kaybee ran away from home and did not see his mother for three years.  

Living on the streets with no roof over his head and no way to nourish his aching body, Prince Kaybee bounced from club to club in search of a job. 

Finally, he landed a DJing job at a Nigerian club. He now had enough money to feed himself but not enough to sustain a home. Fortunately, he met a lady at the nightclub who offered him a place to live.

With over 40 songs across 18 albums, Prince Kaybee has made a name for himself not only in South Africa but all over the world.

There is much ado about Prince Kaybee’s girlfriend. According to sources, Prince Kaybee is currently not dating anyone. However, he has been in many serious relationships over the years. 

The most talked-about was with Brown Mbombo, a social media influencer and a businesswoman.  

Prince and Brown loved each other publicly. They left “lovey-dovey” messages for each other on their respective social media platforms. The two love birds have been neighbours since they were very young but did not know each other well at the time.

They actually met on social media in 2016. Prince Kaybee tagged Brown on Instagram frequently, which is how they started their very public courtship. 

They dated seriously for about a year. Brown often accused Kaybee of not being supportive when she lost her grandmother. This ended their relationship briefly. 

During the breakup, Prince Kaybee had a brief romantic encounter with a young lady and got her pregnant. He is now the proud father of an adorable baby girl named Nana.  

Prince Kaybee and Brown got back together soon after Nana was born and were happier than ever. Unfortunately, Kaybee’s relationship with Brown came to an end. It later came to light that Brown and Kaybee had both moved on.

Prince Kaybee then dated popular radio personality Zola Mhlongo. The two met on social media and instantly hit it off. However, Zola was in a relationship at the time and decided not to pursue her interest in Prince Kaybee. 

Later, as luck would have it, Prince Kaybee was appointed as a resident DJ on a radio station that Zola worked for, sparks flew, and the two hit it off.

Prince Kaybee claims that he has never had a relationship like the one he had with Zola. He enjoyed talking to her, and the relationship had more to it than just sex. 

Prince and Zola’s relationship seemed steady and solid until it was discovered that he had been unfaithful to her for years. This led to their eventual breakup.  

Despite their separation, the two welcomed their child in 2021.

Prince Kaybee's Controversy

Being at the top is not easy. Prince Kaybee has faced numerous hardships, not only in his personal life but also in his career. Prince Kaybee allegedly stole a song from rapper Samuel Mokhele. 

Mokhele claimed that Kaybee stole the concept of his song Wajellwa. More similar claims were made by artist Shimza, who accused Kaybee of stealing the song Club Controller. 

Kaybee responded to this by saying that he began working on the song in collaboration with artists TNS and LaSoulmates long before Shimza knew about it. The song, however, leaked with the wrong title, causing a serious scandal.

The DJ said that he got booked for shows and deals in the aftermath of the incident. He also sued Hazel Mahazard for leaking the images after which she offered a public apology.
