South African Amapiano pioneer Kabza De Small has left social media users disappointed following a recent video that sparked concerns about his appearance. While the artist is celebrated for his unmatched musical talent and chart-topping hits, his alleged drinking habits have now taken center stage, leaving fans divided and worried about his well-being.
In the viral video, Kabza, affectionately known as Mr. Piano Hub, shared a selfie clip ahead of the highly anticipated Chris Brown concert. Taking a light-hearted jab, he humorously remarked about people dating concert-goers who were unresponsive to phone calls.
“They’re not taking your calls today; they’re with Chris Brown, baba!” Kabza joked.
However, instead of focusing on his commentary, many fans zeroed in on his appearance. Kabza’s face, which some attributed to excessive alcohol consumption, quickly became a topic of discussion across social media platforms. The term “phuza face” – often used in South Africa to describe someone showing visible signs of prolonged alcohol use – was thrown around repeatedly.
One concerned user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “He needs to quit alcohol because his ‘phuza’ face is now getting worse.” Another echoed the sentiment, commenting, “Nah this man’s phuza face is wild, man.”
The reactions were mixed, with some fans expressing genuine concern for the “Imithandazo” hitmaker’s health and urging him to take better care of himself. Others were more critical, accusing Kabza of not prioritizing his well-being despite his success in the music industry.
Kabza De Small, known for his influence in popularizing Amapiano music globally, has faced similar scrutiny in the past regarding his lifestyle. Despite his immense talent and work ethic, these discussions have sparked debates about whether celebrities are unfairly judged for their personal choices or if public figures bear a greater responsibility to maintain certain appearances.
While the criticism continues to trend, Kabza remains focused on his craft, consistently delivering hits that dominate playlists and dance floors across Mzansi. Fans, however, are hopeful that the star will take the concerns in stride and prioritize his health moving forward.
