Amapiano heavyweight Kabza De Small is trending for all the wrong reasons after a now-viral video captured an awkward encounter between him and a male fan at a nightclub. The footage, which surfaced online via @legendlivefeed, has sparked mixed reactions from fans and social media users, with some finding the moment hilarious and others criticizing the artist’s reaction.
In the video, Kabza is seen offering a handshake to a male supporter who had approached him inside a buzzing club. Instead of returning the gesture, the fan unexpectedly pulled Kabza in for a hug, catching the hitmaker — and his security — completely off guard. Kabza immediately pulled away, visibly irritated by the uninvited contact.
As the crowd watched the tense moment unfold, Kabza, clearly frustrated, can be heard asking the man, “Mara why?” before walking away and leaving the fan in an awkward position. His reaction, which many describe as a combination of confusion and discomfort, has since become a trending soundbite online.
While the video has generated plenty of laughs and memes, it has also opened up a conversation around boundaries between celebrities and fans. Many users on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have defended Kabza, arguing that fans should respect personal space and not overstep in public settings, especially in high-pressure environments like clubs where artists are constantly approached.
One user wrote, “He’s a fan, fans will be fans will be fans, he needs to chill 🤣🤣.” Another added, “😂😂😂 Scotts did the same n he was accused of being rude.”
However, some believe Kabza could have handled the situation better, noting that pushing the fan away might have come off as harsh. “He’s a fan, fans will be fans will be fans, he needs to chill,” one comment read.
Despite the backlash, Kabza De Small has not released a statement addressing the incident. Meanwhile, the clip continues to rack up thousands of views, cementing its place in Mzansi’s growing collection of viral celebrity moments.
