Award-winning music producer Prince Kaybee is not here for the disrespect towards fellow Africans. Prince has hit back at a xenophobe who discredited a Kenyan musician just because of her nationality.

It is no secret that the country has a bad name when it comes to accepting Africans from their respective countries and has dominated headlines for that reason.
Kaybee has dedicated a portion of his time to find and uplift new talent but it seems as though he has a bigger picture as he is looking to work with musicians outside of the country.
The master behind the Project Hope album recently shared a potential song which features Kenyan singer Pauline “Polaris” Wendo. He said he shared a beat on social media and was thoroughly surprised when that same beat had added vocals from Pauline. “A month ago I uploaded a video making a beat, today a Kenyan lady uploaded the same beat but with her vocals on. I’M BLOWN AWAY, she just bagged a feature with me. Lets fly her up,” he wrote.
A troll who wanted to reign on the singer’s parade, ridiculed her for bagging a song with Prince. “Your brain got affected by the overwhelming blonde color you have on your head. ‘Begged’ and ‘bagged’ are two different things.”
Recently rappers Cassper Nyovest and Nasty C both got called out when they lent their voices towards the #EndSARS movement which has gained momentum, grabbing the interest from people around the world. They were also called out for not having the same energy when it comes to local causes.
Just to paint the picture, Nigeria is currently going through political unrest as citizens of the country are currently protesting against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
So when Nasty C attempted to use his platform to bring light to the matter and show solidarity for the people of Nigeria, South Africans were not having it. The ridicule was especially propagated by the social media led movement of the #PutSouthAfricansFirst movement. This is a movement created by people that are asking for the country to prioritize South Africans.
“Did you do a full inspec on my Twitter? Do you know for a fact that I “go silent when it comes to my own”? NO YOU DONT, so get the fuck off my nuts,” he responded
The sentiments are made at the back of suggestions the illegal and legal immigrants that live in South Africa are “taking over,” with South Africans being sidelined for economic and employment opportunities.
