A cheeky rejection that had South Africa laughing

In the world of social media, it takes only a few words to shift a casual exchange into trending territory. That’s exactly what happened when Prince Kaybee, one of Mzansi’s most recognisable DJs, left fans in stitches with a sharp yet humorous reply to an unexpected lunch invite.

From lunch plans to a punchline

On 30 September 2025, a social media user named @HlelO93 reached out with a simple proposal: “Can I take you out for lunch Kabelo?”

Instead of dodging the question or offering a vague excuse, Prince Kaybee (real name Kabelo Motsamai) gave an answer that instantly became meme-worthy: “I eat once a day, and it’s at night.”

Undeterred, the fan tried again, suggesting dinner instead. But this time, Kaybee stayed silent, leaving the thread hanging and sparking plenty of laughter online.

Persistence or just casting the net?

Adding a twist to the story, the same woman was later spotted making similar moves towards other well-known personalities, including Nota Baloyi and Sizwe Dhlomo. Whether it was persistence or just a scattershot approach, the internet had its own theories.

The reaction was swift and playful. Some users teased the DJ for being sly, with one writing: “My Goat thinks we don’t see how he’s moving.” Another joked: “The net has been cast; let’s see if it catches.” Others speculated that the exchange was more than just about food.

Why this moment hit home

What makes the incident memorable isn’t only the jokes. It highlights something deeper about celebrity life in South Africa: the tension between public visibility and personal boundaries.

In an age where fans can tag, DM and comment at any moment, public figures walk a fine line. Rejecting someone must be done with tact to avoid backlash, and Kaybee’s witty response did exactly that. It drew a boundary without cruelty, keeping the tone light and leaving the door open for humour rather than hostility.

South Africans are no strangers to celebrity drama, especially given Kaybee’s own history of headlines, from cheating scandals to online feuds. Against that backdrop, this exchange stood out as refreshingly simple: a refusal that was firm yet funny.

A rejection that didn’t sting

At its heart, Kaybee’s reply is a lesson in how to say “no” with grace. It was decisive, cheeky and kind enough to avoid sparking outrage. Instead of drama, it gave fans a laugh and reminded everyone that even celebrities are entitled to their own boundaries.

In a country that thrives on celebrity gossip and viral moments, this one was different. It was less about scandal and more about the art of handling rejection with humour, respect, and just the right touch of sass.
