Prince Kaybee’s rags-to-riches story leaves mixed reactions online

Rapper L-Tido’s recent podcast episode with DJ Prince Kaybee received a mixed reaction online, as users found it hard to believe the DJ’s rags-to-riches story.

The renowned DJ appeared on L-Tido’s podcast on YouTube, where he spoke about being homeless and dropping out of school in Grade 11, as well as the celebrity beefs he has with various musicians in the industry. Although Prince Kaybee was candid about his struggles before making it in the industry, users felt that his story did not add up, with some users even alluding that he was spreading a false narrative about his upbringing.

During the interview on the podcast, Prince Kaybee said, “Before I got into fame, I was very selfless. I used to do things that were very disgusting in a way because I come from the streets.” He added, “I left home after dropping out of Grade 11. I went to Bloemfontein and started hustling, I never told my mom where I was going. I was gone for a good three or four years; I never saw my mother. So I was on the streets.”

He further explained that he started DJing when he met a club owner and became a resident DJ for that club and because of his homelessness, the owner offered him a place to sleep.
