Popular Amapiano producer and DJ Kabza De Small sparked reactions after seemingly clapping back at a disgruntled artist who was formerly signed to his record label, Piano Hub.
Kabza De Small has joined the growing list of record label owners accused of ill-treating their signees, something that has been levelled against his frequent collaborator, DJ Maphorisa, several times.
On Thursday, 9 April 2026, Kabza De Small clapped back at Hulumeni, an artist who was signed to his record label, Piano Hub.
This was after Hulumeni took to TikTok to complain about how he was mistreated at Kabza’s house, even though he was one of the hardest-working artists, helping with writing songs and doing house chores, but he was allegedly ignored and unpaid.

Taking to his official Instagram account, Kabza De Small fired back at Hulumeni, accusing him of being ungrateful.
“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you when you’re full, then turn right and expect a handout when you’re starving again 👊" the Instagram story read.
Kabza shared another self-help quote about people who aren’t accountable for their actions.
“People who blame others for their failures never overcome them. They simply move from problem to problem. To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself, and you can’t do that if you don’t take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes,” the quote read.
Entertainment blogger @TheAudioLabSA took a screenshot of one of Kabza De Small’s Instagram stories and shared it on its official X (Twitter) account.
