Prince Kaybee says Brenda Fassie’s pen game was average
Prince Kaybee recently sparked social media debate by sharing his opinion on the late Brenda Fassie’s songwriting skills.
Responding to a viral tweet asking, “What music opinion will have you like this?” Kaybee claimed, “Brenda Fassie’s pen game was average,” a bold take on the legendary singer who remains an iconic figure in South African music.
In a follow-up tweet, he referenced a line from one of her songs to back his viewpoint: “One of her lyrics had a line that said, ‘indaba yami i’straight ayi funi iruler’” with a string of laughing emojis to emphasize his point.
His statement quickly ignited a mix of reactions online, with fans defending Fassie’s lyricism and others chiming in with their own opinions on her music legacy.
Some of the reactions to Kaybee’s tweet are:
“It’s not like she was a rapper & stuff. She understood the vibes that’s whats important.”
“We kept quiet when you released Kuthi Huuu…”
“She was a Pioneer. That very same pen game was used as a blueprint and made better today, maybe that’s why you feel like that.”
“Don’t start us please. Don’t bruh. Are you better than her???? Did you ever write anything better than Brenda????”
One of her lyrics had a line that said…, “indaba yami i’straight ayi funi iruler” 😭😭😭
