Amapiano superstar Kabza De Small has pushed back the release of his highly anticipated album, Tutu, for a fourth time, with the new date set for 27 November 2026, 66 days after the original September target. The repeated delays have tested the patience of fans, though many remain hopeful that the extra time will result in a project worth the wait.
Tutu is a deeply personal tribute to Kabza’s late grandmother, and the album’s artwork features an evocative image of her in traditional attire. The project includes tracks such as “Impilo” featuring Mkeyz, which has already generated buzz among fans eager for new music from the Scorpion Kings co-founder.
The album has been rescheduled from early June to July, then August, then September, and now November. The pattern has become a running joke among some fans, with one social media user quoting, “Kabza, you can keep your album, man,” while others have expressed understanding.
Despite the delays, Kabza has been far from idle. He has been building momentum with the launch of a new Afrotech label, signalling an expansion of his creative and business interests beyond the traditional amapiano sound.
For his loyal fanbase, the wait for Tutu is frustrating. Kabza’s track record, including multiple platinum-selling albums and his status as one of the most influential figures in amapiano, suggests that the final product will justify the delays. But in an era of instant gratification and relentless release schedules, four postponements is a bold gamble.
As November 27 approaches, all eyes will be on Kabza to deliver. If Tutu lives up to the hype, the delays will be forgiven and forgotten. If not, the wait may become part of the story for the wrong reasons. For now, fans are holding on to hope and hitting repeat on the singles that have already dropped.
