Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
The DJ rejected the R500,000 Cassper's team originally offered him.
Prince Kaybee says he is willing to get into the boxing ring with Cassper Nyovest for R2.5-million or more.
The 34-year-old has had a longstanding beef with the rapper, which has often seen them taking online jibes at each other.
Cassper has been trying to fight Prince Kaybee since 2021, but said "Princess Kaybee" does not have the guts to fight him. Kaybee hit back saying he can't wait to take him on.
"Let's goooooooooo!!!!!! I know you been wanting my attention, you have it now... Let's pick a date and run it!!! My people will call yours and we pick a date," Cassper tweeted at the time.

During a recent interview on 'The POPcast' podcast, Prince Kaybee said that Cassper's team offered him R500,000 for a potential celebrity boxing match.
"If there was a good number I would get in the ring... Cassper's team sent an email to my team, I think it said something like R500,000. I'm not going to get in the ring for R500,000,” he said.

Prince Kaybee, whose real name is Kabelo Motsamai, added that he doesn't take his beef with Cassper personally.
"It's all jokes. I once met him at an airport and I laughed the whole time. And he was serious. I don't really take it that seriously. Even when we go to the ring... I'm not going to really take it that seriously but if we are going to do it let's do it the proper way. Give me what I want," he said.
The 'Amaphiko Ezono' hitmaker made his price very clear.
"For me to get out of my house R2.5 [million] is fine... But also it takes a lot to prepare for a fight.”

Until then, Prince Kaybee is focusing on his music. He recently released his 12-track album, 'Music Theory'. He dropped the album a few weeks after signing a distribution deal with Ingrooves Africa.
Prince Kaybee signed the deal after his contract with Universal Music Group came to an end in April. He had been having problems with the label for the past few years.
"FREE," he wrote on Instagram after receiving a letter about the termination of the contract.
Despite his drama with the label, Prince Kaybe revealed in an interview that he doesn't have a problem with artists signing with major record labels, especially if they don't have a big following already.
"I needed the boost, I needed something that's going to elevate my music and the brand Prince Kaybee. I signed a deal that I thoroughly went through. It favoured me. I had no problem with that deal because it was tailormade for me, because I went through it and we did a back and forth with the label and finally we agreed. It worked well for me for eight years," he said in May
