South African musician Prince Kaybee recently gave younger artists the go-ahead to recreate his songs.

The DJ and producer, famous for hit songs like Fetch Your Life and the Lady Zamar-featured song Charlotte, was approached by a budding musician on social media, who jokingly asked about the repercussions of remixing Charlotte.

"Good day, bhut Kabelo. If I dropped a remix to Charlotte, would you hit me?"

Reacting to the humble request on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, Kaybee gave the young star his blessings and extended it to other producers who wish to remix his music.
