South African musician Prince Kaybee is of the opinion that any artist featured on a collabo must have something to offer and not just their name.

The ‘Umenitosha’ hit maker holds that no artist should give a feature to a person who has nothing to contribute to the song, lyrically or otherwise.

He feels such an arrangement must not be one-sided because they will demand for pay when deals start coming in yet all they did was make an ‘aesthetic show’.

“Don’t feature artists that don’t contribute to the music composition or lyrics, people that are just there for aesthetics, now deals are coming in, and they must be paid because they are on the title of the song. It hurts,” Kaybee recently said.

His sentiments came a few days after Boohle made damning claims against Cassper Nyovest over the writing of his viral hit ‘Siyathandana’.

According to Boohle, Cassper never wrote the lyrics to ‘Siyathandana’featuring Abidoza and Boohle. Controversy surrounding who wrote the song’s lyrics brewed following MacG podcast session recently where Boohle said that Cassper “only came with his verse”.

In response, Cassper said he is not willing to engage in the debate of who wrote the song and who didn’t.
