South African DJ and music producer Prince Kaybee has responded to allegations of homophobia.
The creator of the hit song Charlotte directly challenged the source of the claims, emphasizing his long-standing relationships with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.
“I don’t understand why people say I’m homophobic,” he wrote.
“I had a gay chef that is, in my opinion, the best cook I’ve ever met, a gay stylist that did wardrobe for two of my music videos. I have gay friends in and out of South Africa.
