Prince Kaybee took the post in his stride with a light-hearted response. He neither denied nor confirmed that he had allegedly slept with the women in the photo collage and instead laughed off the claims. See the post by clicking the link.

Taking to her X account, an angry Thuli Phongolo was far from pleased with Prince Kaybee’s nonchalant response. She clarified that she has never slept with Prince Kaybee or Edwin Sodi. The post was captioned:

“Uhm, since when? If you’re going to entertain it, you might as well clear it with the TRUTH. I’ve never slept with you or Edwin, for that matter! This whole narrative of trying to paint me as loose is tired, I don’t play with my p please! 🤚”

Thuli did not stop there. She also addressed Prince Kaybee directly on Instagram Stories, accusing him of intentionally allowing the rumours to gain traction. She also set the record straight about the nature of their relationship, saying that they barely know each other and have only interacted briefly at an undisclosed gym.

“@princekaybee_sa - I've literally only met you once at the gym this year, even on a HI & BYE basis! You know what you did with that response, it's intentional... stop it!” part of the Instagram story read.

In another Instagram Story, Thuli Phongolo also spoke about her romantic life, claiming that she has only been involved with not more than 5 men in her entire life. She went on to explain that she rarely responds to gossip, but felt compelled to speak out because such rumours can affect how people view her and impact her dating life.

“Mind you, I can count the people I've dated on ONE HAND, so to be affiliated with the WORLD when in reality I take PRIDE in taking care of myself and my integrity is aggravating. I keep quiet because I know it's never really worth it to address it, but the narrative STICKS, and people start receiving you as a person, you're not. And men feed into these stories because it SERVES them!” part of the Instagram story read.

Prince Kaybee later responded to the backlash, saying he had not started any rumours. He also questioned why Thuli Phongolo and her fans had not directed the same energy at DJ Maphorisa when he was arrested. The post was captioned:

“Clear what rumour? I've never started a rumour; all that energy should’ve been directed to Maphorisa when he was allegedly abusing her. Y'all think just because I'm laughing here with y'all, I am some punching bag.”
