Prince Kaybee has sparked debate after making it clear that Amapiano is one genre he has no plans to explore. Responding to a fan who suggested a collaboration with Kelvin Momo, the award-winning producer praised Amapiano's achievements but insisted he would never make the genre because he neither knows how nor has the desire to do so. His response quickly drew mixed reactions online.

Prince Kaybee stands firm on Amapiano

The discussion started when an X user suggested Prince Kaybee and Kelvin Momo should work together. The producer replied:

"Amapiano has achieved impressive success with amazing talent, but I would never do it, I don't know how to and I sadly don't have the desire to."
