• Most listeners praised the veteran DJ and producer for maintaining his signature sound despite long breaks between releases
• Some fans refused to stream the track, still upset over his controversial remarks about the late footballer Emmanuel "Scara" Ngobese

Prince Kaybee is back with fresh music, and Mzansi has plenty to say about it. The veteran DJ and producer announced the release of his new single, Veliry, on 21 August 2026 with a straightforward "OUT NOW" post on social media.

Veliry is Prince Kaybee's latest drop since Heno Babayo, which he released in June, building anticipation for what many hope will be a bigger project. For listeners who worry that long gaps between releases signal a dip in quality, the new single has been reassuring. Many fans took to social media to celebrate the fact that the Beautiful Girls hitmaker still has it.

BabakaSylvester weighed in:

"Hot summer hit. 7/10 dope track, bru."

Simmy_Mkhatshwa was even more enthusiastic:

"Better days are really here!"

One of the more playful reactions came from @oyama_gxl, who referenced Prince Kaybee's widely discussed weight loss journey with a cheeky dig:

"I can't even say you ate because you don't eat."

Scara Ngobese controversy still haunts the producer

Not everyone was in the mood to celebrate. A section of listeners declined to engage with Veliry altogether, with their frustration rooted less in the music itself and more in Prince Kaybee's past remarks about the late Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Emmanuel "Scara" Ngobese, whom he described as a "horrendous" player.

In a series of X posts, the producer shared sharp critique about Ngobese's talent on the pitch.

"Scara Ngobese was horrendous in and outside the box, zero spatial awareness in counter-attacking; he finds defenders and passes them. You would, in most cases, see him when Chiefs is winning, not a fighter when losing, not a player to look up to AT ALL!

"Scara Ngobese was overrated, and he wouldn’t survive if he lived today where speed, precision, progressive momentum and special awareness are king."

Social media discussed his harsh remarks:

DjNatureCom2 was blunt in his assessment of the song:

theGoliath96 kept the focus firmly off the music:

"I am still mad about the nonsense you said about Scara Ngobese."

hlalanathimba1 took it further:

"You used Scarra Ngobese to promote your music? Imagine using a dead person to boost your career so your music can be relevant."

Despite the controversy swirling in the comments, the overall reception to Veliry has leaned positive, with the majority of listeners giving Prince Kaybee his flowers for staying relevant and consistent as a producer.
