Prince Kaybee Opens Up About Being Asked To Dance Like Uncle Waffles At A Gig. As amapiano continues to gain global popularity, there has been a constant debate on the TL as to who ought to take credit for believing in the sound when it started a few years ago. Prince Kaybee has been open about the original pioneers of the genre to document and also making his fans ask if whether he would be the next artist to jump onto the genre.
Prince Kaybee has been quite open about not dropping an Amapiano song lately, and with that said, he responded to a fan who expressed that Kaybee’s recent album was not pushed enough, however, considering that amapiano is the hottest genre at the moment, Kaybee agreed that indeed it wasn’t pushed enough, also adding that it is because people wanted amapiano. He also mentioned that with the demand of amapiano songs and how other artists are jumping from their genre to amapiano, he had been expected to do the same, and that he was once asked at a gig why he isn’t dancing like Uncle Waffles. “Yeah it was fumbled, but part of it is the dominance of Amapiano, majority people want Amapiano. I was playing at a club two weeks ago and a girl approached me asking when am I playing it and also why am I not dancing like Waffles…”
Around April this year, he threw shade at “those who left their own genres to join the amapiano wagon” — which Twitter read as DJ Maphorisa — telling them to take the back seat.
Not about to allow any disrespect on his name, Maphorisa proved his Yanos “pioneer” cred.“2017 dropped my first amapiano song, and it was not with Kabza. I’ve been at it. I invested my life with amapiano for almost 5 years don’t come with bullsh*t,” Phori hit back.The DJ then added a note for all the “old” artists seemingly touched by amapiano’s growing success. He added that artists that didn’t have the foresight to see how the genre would blow up should keep their regrets to themselves. “Amapiano name came as a diss. Don’t be mad now or be frustrated because you can’t chart any more. You didn’t see it coming. We paid attention to the streets and the culture, now it’s paying us, Thanks, SA. Don’t be arrogant, be humble and listen to the kids. You’re getting old, don’t forget!”
