Kabza De Small celebrated his 33rd birthday in a manner that captured widespread attention, particularly after a video showcased fellow Amapiano artist JazziQ pouring champagne over his wristwatch, a display emblematic of celebration and status. The moment, shared by Mr JazziQ, sparked lively discussions across social media, contributing to the opulent atmosphere of the night.
The party, held in Johannesburg, served as a reflection of Kabza De Small’s significant role in the South African music scene. Guests arrived clad in sophisticated black-tie attire, prepared to pay tribute to the “King of Amapiano” in a setting that combined elegance and vibrant personalities. The attendance of notable figures such as DJ Maphorisa, Shaunstylist, Mr JazziQ, and political leader Julius Malema emphasized the depth of Kabza’s influence.
The viral footage of JazziQ pouring champagne over his luxury timepiece became a memorable highlight of the event. In the clip, the 29-year-old producer—renowned for tracks like Woza and collaborations with Kabza—raises a champagne bottle and lavishly pours it over his watch as the audience erupts in applause. This act resonated with many, resembling a celebration typical of hip-hop culture where drenching high-value accessories denotes success and carefree enjoyment.
While some observers deemed the act excessive, others commended JazziQ for embracing the celebratory spirit of the occasion and showcasing a side of himself suited to such a prominent birthday event. His bold gesture encapsulated the lively and extravagant essence that characterizes contemporary Amapiano culture, where style, personality, and performance seamlessly converge.
Kabza’s 33rd birthday proved to be a spectacular exhibition of style and admiration. Guests were dressed in sharp black suits and elegant gowns, while varying shades of red decor provided a modern touch to the celebration. The event reignited conversations about Kabza’s age, as fans had previously thought the artist—known for his composed nature and mature musical insight—was older than his years.
Despite the attention drawn by JazziQ’s champagne moment, the evening ultimately served as a tribute to Kabza De Small’s talent, influence, and the solidarity within the Amapiano community. With music, laughter, and lasting memories, the gathering underscored how profoundly the genre continues to impact South African culture.
