Prince Kaybee pulled no punches during a recent sit-down with YFM's Ayanda MVP and co-host Sinaye Kotobe on 7 July 2026, using the platform to air out his ongoing issues with rapper Cassper Nyovest in remarkable detail.

The Charlotte hitmaker made it crystal clear that a boxing showdown between the two celebrities is highly unlikely, and money is the main reason why.

"I doubt that will ever happen. First, financially, it doesn't make sense for me. I saw the email from his team; they were offering like half a mil (R500,000). I'm not going to train for half a million; they must give me like 3 (million) maybe."

Kaybee's stance is straightforward: the physical preparation required to compete professionally simply isn't worth R500,000 to him. His asking price sits at R3 million, a figure that is six times what Nyovest's camp reportedly put forward.

Beyond the boxing drama, Kaybee also weighed in on Nyovest's standing in the South African music industry, and his assessment was far from flattering. Rather than crediting Cassper's longevity to raw musical ability, Kaybee attributed the rapper's success to gimmickry rather than authentic artistry.

He also brought physicality into the conversation, arguing that the two men are simply not comparable athletes.

"Fitness-wise, Cassper will never get to my level, unfortunately. We are not even the same weight, size."
