Music producer and DJ Prince Kaybee says taking his own life is not on the cards.

He said though he doesn't understand why people end up taking their own lives, he doesn't judge those who do. 

On Thursday a tweep tweeted: “Fully understand why people commit suicide?”

Replying to the tweet, Prince Kaybee said: “Till this day I do not understand but I don’t judge.”

A tweep then asked Prince Kaybee if he was thinking about taking his own life. The music producer said he didn't see that as an option.

“Nah I don’t see it, I might be wrong but nah, I really don’t see ending my life for anything as a solution. And please I am not taking a jab at people that are suicidal or that have already committed suicide, I really just don’t see it for me at the moment.”

Prince Kaybee has been weighing in on many issues. 

He recently opened up about the pressures of black tax, reacting to actor Jet Novuka's comment about how black people have turned helping people into a bad thing.

Kaybee said while he understood his sentiments, there were many incidents where family members took advantage of help.

“The conversation is more idealistic than realistic. If families were a utopia where there were no toxic and exploitive family members, blackmail, guilt and, to some degree, force young people to fund their lifestyle, then this would be true.

“We all want to help our families and share what we have, but some family members make us their financial plan. Plenty of young black kids live in depression, and some commit suicide because they are made to feel worthless when they cannot give to greedy families.”
