Prince Kaybee opens up about amnesia struggle
Despite being a talented DJ and an award-winning artist, he is fearful of potentially missing out on opportunities due to his current medical condition.
He previously gifted us with hit songs such as 'Charlotte,' 'Banomoya,' and 'Club Controller,' but he is now grappling with a new challenge—amnesia—which makes it difficult for him to remember his own life.
Renowned South African DJ and music producer Kabelo Motsamai, popularly known for his stage name Prince Kaybee, recently shared his emotional struggle with serious memory loss, sparking a wave of public concern and support.
In a heartfelt thread on X (formerly Twitter), Prince Kaybee revealed his growing fear of amnesia, sharing how it's slowly unravelling his life. He expressed frustration and emotional weight, saying, 'I suffer with serious amnesia, and I am a bit emotional and frustrated at how my memory is deteriorating, man. I am scared this will lead to missing life opportunities, which will make me very incompetent, and I hate that. I have some underlying condition affecting my brain (experts say), I wonder how long I can keep what is left of my memory bank.'
Moreover, as a father, Prince Kaybee's condition is particularly daunting. He fears being unable to be present for his children, missing milestones, and failing to provide emotional guidance. He added, 'Not going to lie, this is rocking me, man. I have kids to raise.'
