Prince Kaybee Explains Why He Stopped Going Out of His Way to Help People After Student Beef

• Prince Kaybee opened up about feeding 56 orphans daily and paying varsity fees for students after a fan defended his charitable work online
• The DJ revealed he once let a student stay at his flat for free for six months out of sympathy for her family's financial situation
• The student later called him a terrible person because of a celebrity beef, prompting Kaybee to change his outlook on helping others

Prince Kaybee has opened up about his decision to stop going out of his way to help people, sharing a personal story of ingratitude that left a bitter taste.

The acclaimed DJ and producer responded to a post by X user @tsh99976, who came to his defence on Monday, 28 September 2026, calling out those who overlook Kaybee's charitable work. The user pointed out that Kaybee feeds 56 orphans daily, pays university fees for several students, and covers accommodation costs for others.

Prince Kaybee reveals why he stopped helping people

In his response, the award-winning DJ described buying a property from a woman who had used her entire pension to purchase it, only to struggle to generate rental income from it. Out of compassion for the family, he allowed the woman's daughter to stay at the flat rent-free for six months.

Things turned sour when the same student publicly called him a "terrible human being" during a period when Kaybee was involved in a public beef with celebrities she admired.

"I let her stay there because I bought the place from her mother after she took all her pension money to buy the flat, only to later not make any profit from renting out the place, so I felt sorry for the family; then I let the child stay for 6 months," Kaybee wrote.

The experience pushed him to a blunt conclusion:

Mzansi reacts to Prince Kaybee's post

The post struck a nerve with many South Africans, who flooded the comments with similar stories and varying opinions.

@imaybemightbeme pushed back on the framing:

"Helping people doesn't exempt you from being a terrible human being. I'm not saying you are. The majority of people who help people are heinous individuals. They do it for their ego and glory. They're called overt narcissists."

@nicholasp2105 shared a relatable experience:

"When I relocated to JHB, I went looking for my cousin; my mother warned me, but I didn't listen. I helped him with his licence, paid for short courses that he failed, and introduced him to life outside ekasi. Today we're not on speaking terms because he is an entitled piece of sh!t."

@Snerto120601 kept it short:

"People are snakes, bra; they always bite the hand that helps them. That’s always the case."

@TheHoundZa questioned whether the full story had been told:

"I feel like you guys didn't try to sit down and iron it out. I don't believe that could be the only reason she called you a terrible human. Was she happy her mother was selling the property?"
