Musician Prince Kaybee calls out celebs to stop hiding amid social chaos
- House DJ and producer Prince Kaybee has called out fellow celebrities to step forward as the country suffers looting riots
- The musician went on social media to make a direct message to his peers, though a handful of others have already taken action
- Prince made the call shortly after he had taken similar responsibility in the streets of Gauteng earlier in the week
The Free-State born musical artist took to Twitter to express a frustrated demand to industry figures in the limelight.
Following the country's violent looting outbreak in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, Prince Kaybee, as well as the likes of Somizi-Mhlongo, Thuso Mbedu, Kelly Khumalo, and Pearl Thusi expressed public opposition to the unlawful events.
With businesses destroyed, jobs lost, people injured and dead across KZN and Gauteng, Prince suggested that many entertainers are silent and out of sight.
Kaybee's Twitter account said:
Phumzile Van Damme spills the tea on whether she will form her own political party: "It won't happen my skat"
"This is definitely not the time to keep your brand clean..., silence during injustices to protect false wealth. Stand for something man."
