Kabza De Small’s 33rd birthday celebration turned into one of the most talked-about events of the week after a viral video captured fellow Amapiano heavyweight JazziQ pouring champagne directly onto his wristwatch in true superstar fashion. The moment, shared by Mr JazziQ, instantly ignited social media conversations and added yet another layer of extravagance to an already star-studded night.
Hosted in Johannesburg, the celebration reflected Kabza De Small’s impact and influence as one of South Africa’s most important musical figures. Dressed in sleek black-tie attire, guests arrived ready to honour the “King of Amapiano” with elegance, luxury and bold personalities. The presence of prominent industry figures like DJ Maphorisa, Shaunstylist, Mr JazziQ and even political leader Julius Malema underscored the magnitude of Kabza’s legacy.
The viral clip of JazziQ became the standout moment of the evening. In it, the 29-year-old producer—known for hits like Woza and countless collaborations with Kabza—lifts a champagne bottle and confidently pours it over his luxury watch as the crowd erupts with cheers. To many, it felt like a scene straight from hip-hop culture, where soaking expensive jewellery is a symbol of both success and unbothered celebration.
While some viewers found the gesture over-the-top, others praised JazziQ for embracing the festive energy of the night and expressing himself in a manner fitting for a high-profile birthday celebration. His bold move captured the carefree, lavish spirit that has come to define modern Amapiano culture—where fashion, personality, and performance all blend seamlessly.
Kabza’s 33rd birthday itself was a grand display of style and appreciation. Guests arrived in elegant black suits and gowns, while shades of red décor added a refined, modern edge to the event. The celebration also sparked renewed discussion around Kabza’s age, as many fans previously believed the producer—known for his calm demeanour and masterful musical maturity—was older.
Despite the buzz surrounding JazziQ’s champagne moment, the night ultimately remained a tribute to Kabza De Small’s artistry, influence, and the unity within the Amapiano community. With music, laughter, and unforgettable moments, the event highlighted just how deeply the genre continues to shape South African culture.
