SOUTH African musician Prince Kaybee stunned fans with a raw and emotional confession on social media about his battle with serious memory loss.

In a heartfelt thread on X, the award-winning hitmaker revealed his growing fear of amnesia, sharing how it's slowly unravelling his life.

"I suffer from SERIOUS AMNESIA, and I am a bit emotional and frustrated at how my memory is deteriorating, man. I am scared this will lead to missing life opportunities, which will make me very incompetent, and I HATE THAT," he wrote.

The 34-year-old artist didn't hold back about the emotional weight of his condition. "Not gonna lie, this is rocking me, man. I have kids to raise."

The vulnerability of his words has sparked a wave of public concern and support, but beneath his honesty lies a deeper medical reality that demands attention.

What could be behind Kaybee's amnesia?

Memory loss or amnesia can stem from a wide range of conditions, many of which are linked to brain health, lifestyle, or underlying diseases.

While Kaybee didn't share a specific diagnosis, his words suggest a serious neurological issue. Neurological research points to several potential causes for memory deterioration, including:

• Chronic stress or trauma: Stress hormones like cortisol can impair memory function over time. As a public figure juggling a demanding career and family, chronic stress may have taken a toll.
