Kabza De Small's latest social media appearance raised concern among fans, who revisited their earlier claims about the King of Amapiano's apparent problem with alcohol.

This, after the renowned producer hosted an Instagram livestream on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, where he appeared cheerful and gleefully greeted his followers as they joined the conversation.

In the middle of the livestream, Kabza was seen sipping a drink while playfully teasing his viewers, jokingly calling them out for jumping straight into serious "business" and drama without even stopping to say hello first.

"Good morning! Don't ask me about anything or anyone. Good morning."

Despite his cheerful mood, fans were more concerned about Kabza's drinking, with some convinced it had gotten to a point where he had adopted a "phuza face."

This is a term used to describe the facial changes in a person, commonly associated with heavy or chronic alcohol consumption.

And while none were certain of what exactly was inside his cups, social media users were quick to speculate that the contents were far from innocent. Despite the lack of confirmation, the phuza face narrative dominated the comments section.

Having previously faced these allegations, Kabza De Small’s latest video has reignited the conversation around his physical transformation.

While the producer has often laughed off the noise, the recurring nature of these claims suggests that his fans aren't just looking for gossip; they are genuinely worried.
