DJ Maphorisa Calls Prince Kaybee a “Pornstar” in Ongoing Feud
A fierce debate over the ownership of artists music has erupted in the South African music industry, with renowned record producer DJ Maphorisa taking a controversial stance on intellectual property.
The feud has escalated, involving Prince Kaybee, who responded to Maphorisa’s statements.
Amid the clash of opinions, personal attacks have taken center stage, overshadowing the initial discourse on creative ownership.
DJ Maphorisa’s Controversial Stance
In a video that stirred the controversy, DJ Maphorisa asserted,
“When you record on my computer in my studio with my electricity, that sh*t is mine.”
” It belongs to me. You don’t know anything,” said Maphorisa.

Prince Kaybee’s Response
Prince Kaybee, a notable figure in the South African music scene, weighed in on the debate, expressing a different perspective.
He highlighted the importance of sharing intellectual property as an integral part of collaborative artistic endeavors.
Challenging the notion of ownership, he questioned the applicability of archaic laws governing the music industry.
“Furthermore, they say it’s the law; there is no such law; talent from a sole business [artist] can’t be regulated under any governing body because it’s non-existent,” he stated.
Feud Takes a Personal Turn
In response to Prince Kaybee’s differing views, DJ Maphorisa escalated the feud by branding him a “pornstar.”
This reference was a direct allusion to a sex tape leaked in 2023 featuring Prince Kaybee and Cyan Boujee.
Prince Kaybee said that the period of his life when his intimate parts were exposed to the public eye was regrettable.
The clash has since taken a personal turn, overshadowing the initial discussion on artistic ownership.
“I can also use the allegations of you hitting a woman, but that’s not the argument,” responded Prince Kaybee.
“There’s a lack of moral commitment to artists generally, from a basic human principle to parallel their artistic capabilities and talent to a computer, lights, and Nando’s, and it’s not building the economy of the artist.”
“I disagree with what you stand for, and that’s that.”
