• South African music producer Prince Kaybee has gone on a rant, questioning the existence of God after losing his mother

• Netizens sympathised with Prince Kaybee, while others saw this as an opportunity to challenge Kaybee based on their own beliefs
• Briefly News spoke to grief counsellor Paula Quinsee, who shared advice on how to process grief when anger at God is part of the pain

Grief-stricken music producer Prince Kaybee is still very torn over the death of his mother. The Fetch Your Life hitmaker went on an emotional rant this week, directing his anger and confusion to God.

News of his mother's passing was first broken by politician former Johannesburg MMC Kenny Kunene, who faced backlash over this.

Kaybee then confirmed his mother's passing in a touching Instagram post on Saturday, 6 September 2025. The post was shared four days after her passing, and he recounted their final moments together.

"It's the fourth night of walking around the house without you physically there. Holding you as you sat on the chair that you died on, feeling your neck get stiffer as I kept on begging you to not leave me, I cannot define how torn apart I am, broken into pieces that will never be one. Thank you, for everything, Oulady."

Relationship expert and psychologist Paula Quinsee shared with Briefly News that grief impacts many people differently. It can take its toll, especially on public figures, because of their fame.

"Grief impacts public figures differently as they are in the public eye. It impacts one's mood, and this can cause one to get irritable," she said. "The need to keep up appearances delays the grieving process, making it difficult to ptocess those feelings."

Paula added that it is very important to seek help from professionals who will aid in the healing process.

Prince Kaybee on God's existence

Taking to Twitter (X), Kaybee started his rant with a striking opening sentence saying, "I just wanna discuss God, if he exists."

Kaybee said his mother was a prayerful woman who never ceased to pray even well into the night. He questioned why God allowed his mom to experience pain even when she prayed.

“She suffered. I saw in her eyes how excruciating the pain was... What kind of God allows this to happen if he is all-powerful and all-knowing?" He further mentioned, "She went through financial exhaustion."

Prince Kaybee mentioned that his mother was one of the only people who accepted him through his flaws.

Mzansi debated over Kaybee's post. This is what some people had to say:

@BigDhara11 said:

"Christians learn here that you should not listen to secular music or follow secular artists see his rants he is against God,Romans 1 vs 18 to 26 is very clear claiming to be wise they became fools."

@DassieTP shared:

"It is a phase where we mostly go through in moments like these. It is normal to feel this way. He will come around."

@Melusi_Mokone stated:

"Though it's not like he questioned He's existence all the time. Pain does that. It makes you want to know why. It's very unfortunate because when it's time, it's time. Be strong champ, this too shall pass."

@sipho_mate said:

"God gives and God takes. We all gonna die we just don't know how painful our death will be. May God heal Prince Kaybee."

How to process grief when anger is directed at God

Speaking to Briefly News journalist, Tayananiswa Zvikaramba, grief counsellor Paula Quinsee shared tips on how to process grief when anger is directed at God or one's faith.

She emphasised that it's normal to feel and express emotions such as anger and doubt even towards God. Paula Quinsee encourages individuals to acknowledge and express their feelings instead of suppressing them.

"As we go through the different stages of grief (shock, anger, reality, acceptance, healing), it’s normal to question, lash out at, or even bargain with God/our faith during grief. Suppressing these emotions often deepens the struggle as we swing from one end of the grief spectrum to the other. The best way to approach this situation is to acknowledge the anger without guilt. We’re all human, and it’s normal to experience these emotions," Paula Quinsee said.
