Prince Kaybee Opens Up About Heartbreaking Loss of His Mother

Award-winning South African DJ Prince Kaybee has shared the deep pain of losing his mother, who passed away last week after a long illness. The musician, whose real name is Kabelo Motsamai, reflected on her final days in an emotional post on Tuesday.

He revealed that before her passing, she was scheduled for surgery that could have potentially changed her life.

I just wanna discuss God, if he exists.

My mother was one of the most faithful people I know, kept the loyalty and faith in her God, prayed on average twice a day, sometimes overnight because I used to listen to her cry in prayer throughout the night because my room was right…

“I just wanna discuss God, if he exists. My mother was one of the most faithful people I know. She prayed twice a day, sometimes overnight, and I could hear her cry in prayer through the night,” he wrote. “But oh boy, she suffered. I saw in her eyes how excruciating the pain was. She went through financial exhaustion. People that love her, like me, also suffered looking at her go through all that. What kind of a sick God allows this if He is all powerful and all knowing?”

He continued, “I have lost the oldest person who loved me through all my flaws, the ONLY person in this world I could share anything with without being judged. But she is dead, and for some reason, there’s a God orchestrating all this. Today was supposed to be her first surgery consultation that could’ve changed her life, but God had other plans. MY MOTHER JUST WANTED TO RAISE MY KIDS, she felt that was the only thing left to do for me.”

Death is such a weird concept & it’s always not easy to understand. As humans, its so easy to ask questions to God especially when one lived a faithful life. But I would love to share these with you bro.

Death is not of God – its not his nature.

Never question God when you are faced with storms and triumphs. Believing in God isn’t just an abstract idea. That belief alone fuels resilience when challenges hit, and that draw from a well deeper than your own strength. You can feel for your mother but she was strong and she…
