Prince Kaybee slams families forcing youth to fund their lifestyle

South African musician Prince Kaybee slams families who force young people to fund their lifestyle. 

The Club Controller hitmaker took to his Twitter timeline to voice his opinion on the idea of families exploiting young people especially greedy families to fund their lifestyle. 

“The conversation is more idealistic than realistic. If families were an utopia where there were no toxic and exploitative family members blackmail, guilt and to some degree force young people to fund their lifestyle then this would be true,” he wrote. 

The DJ then went on to add that although many people wants to help their family members they however use those individuals (who wants to help) as their “financial plan” which results in those individuals to “commit suicide,” the musician stated. 

“We all want to help our families and share what we have but some family members make us their financial plan. Plenty of young black kids live in depression and some commit suicide because they are made to feel worthless when they CANNOT give to greedy families.”

“Anyone that doesn’t acknowledge all that you do for them, the risks that you take, stretching yourself every inch just to come through for them can go f*## themselves, literally,” he added.
