Prince Kaybee has doubled down on his support for New Zealand's All Blacks, insisting his loyalty goes far beyond rugby. The music producer explained that his admiration is rooted in New Zealand's support for Black South Africans during apartheid, saying backing the team is about honouring that history rather than following trends.
His explanation, however, kicked off a fiery debate on X, with many questioning why he would support another nation when they face South Africa.
Prince Kaybee explains his All Blacks loyalty
Prince Kaybee shared a lengthy post on X after the All Blacks received a warm welcome in Cape Town. He wrote:

"To support the All Blacks is not just some fascination with trends. It is respect an honour. New Zealand stood in solidarity with BLACK PEOPLE when the white South African rugby did not want people that look like Siya Kolisi to participate in the sport.
To support New Zealand as a South African is beyond sport, its beyond lifting the world cup, its more shared struggle of humanity, they didn't have to do that but they did. ALL BLACKS FOREVER❤️"
X users challenge Prince Kaybee's stance
Not everyone was convinced by his explanation.
@tupac_maake asked:
"We get all that but why would you support them when they play against your home country?"
@tidoo echoed the sentiment:
"So u would rather support them against the very same Siya u mention?"
Meanwhile, @Dr_EmZet argued that supporting South Africa should never be optional.
"Supporting your country is a national duty. Not a choice."

"Everyone should just keep supporting who they want."
@JohnPCMay also revealed he shares Prince Kaybee's views.
"I'm in the same category as you... People don't like it but there's something called freedom of choice and association."
