Prince Kaybee is a certified hit maker, who has made it clear that he would not join the wave of Amapiano in order to stay relevant. While his stance is admirable, it does seem that it has affected his playability in terms of his new music. This is as his last two releases have failed to have the impact that his earlier music seemed to have.

While he has had milestones to celebrate in the past couple of years, music is not one of them. As such, it does seem like this has been taking a toll on him. As a result, he had a little venting moment on social media. A venting session which had his baby mama and long-term girlfriend reaching out publicly to affirm and comfort the producer-DJ.
Prince Kaybee’s past two years musically
Arguably the last year that Prince Kaybee was touted as a certified hitmaker by the general public was back in 2019 when he released his highly acclaimed studio album Re Mmino. The album had hits-on-hits including Banomoya, Club Controller and the biggest song of 2019 Fetch Your Life featuring Msaki.
However, thereafter, the decline began. First it was the release of his collaborative album Project Hope (Season 1), which saw him collaborate with up and coming young female voices to create the album. The album was meant to be supported with a reality show, but… It has been two years and nothing has come of it so far.
He then released The 4th Republic which was arguably overshadowed by the release of his manhood and the cheating scandal attached to his leaked nude. From The 4th Republic, he then released Gemini in 2020, and house heads and his fan base might have appreciated tracks from the album. Radio and general playlists have all but ignored the release of the album, which marks a second/ third strike of a disappointing album for Prince Kaybee, depending on who you are asking.

Possibly due to the lack of attention that Gemini has received, Prince Kaybee does not play songs from the album during his sets. As such, one of his fans took to the timeline to address the fact that he did not play any songs from his recent release.
A fact which Prince Kaybee confirmed stems from the fact that he is insecure about the album as it failed to make an impact in the music landscape. Something that he is not used to as he for sometime was part of the tastemakers in terms of songs that were integral to any summertime playlist.
As such, tweeps took to the post to comfort him. This also included his baby mama and long-term girlfriend Zola Mhlongo. The post confirmed that the couple is still together as it was recently suggested that their relationship was on the rocks as it was alleged that Zola was stepping out from their relationship, which the post seems to suggest that this might have been just another unsupported story by Musa Khawula.
