Prince Kaybee did not hold back after the Springboks' heavy defeat to Australia, directing sharp criticism at acting captain Andre Esterhuizen in a series of posts that quickly caught Mzansi's attention. The 32-year-old Esterhuizen made history as the 68th player to captain the Springboks, stepping up in Perth while Siya Kolisi was rested by coach Rassie Erasmus.
South Africa went down 48-32 to the Wallabies at Optus Stadium on Sunday, 27 September, a margin that set social media alight.
Prince Kaybee takes aim at Andre Esterhuizen
Kaybee jumped into the conversation after an X post labelled Esterhuizen a "racist," referencing a 2012 incident in which the rugby player received a suspension for using the K-word during a match at Klerksdorp High School. The Club Controller hitmaker brushed past the racial debate entirely, choosing instead to go straight for Esterhuizen's rugby.

"Off topic, he's a terrible player," Kaybee wrote.

Earlier in the week, when the 2012 incident first began circulating again on social media, Kaybee had already signalled where his loyalties lie. He asked his followers:
"Y'all gonna support the All Blacks or nah?"

Why Prince Kaybee backs the All Blacks
The DJ and producer has long been vocal about supporting New Zealand's All Blacks over the Springboks, and he expanded on those reasons in July.
"To support the All Blacks is not just some fascination with trends. It is a respect, an honour. New Zealand stood in solidarity with BLACK PEOPLE when the white South African rugby team did not want people who look like Siya Kolisi to participate in the sport," he wrote.
