Shortly after it was announced that Black Coffee was involved in an accident, well wishes flooded in for the Grammy award winning South African DJ, with some reacting to his ex-wife Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa’s reaction to his ordeal.
In the early evening hours on Wednesday Nkosinathi “Black Coffee” Maphumulo’s management team released a statement on all his social media pages informing fans that the star was involved in an accident while traveling from a show in Brazil en route to Mar del Plata, Argentina.
“It resulted in unforeseen complications and left him with some injuries,” the statement read. Black Coffee’s management confirmed he was receiving “the best possible medical attention and is surrounded by a supportive family and team.”

Well wishes pour in
‘Black Coffee’ and ‘speedy recovery’ sat atop the trends list after the statement confirmed the accident. The statement garnered more than a 150 000 reactions on his Instagram alone.
One of the reactions was on Mbali’s Instagram stories, where she posted a video of international producer Fleiva Music making a song from the sound of babies.
But what caught people’s attention was the caption, which read: “Best thing I’ve heard this year”. The reel was posted soon after Coffee’s statement. Black Coffee was married to the actress for eight years, with their split coming in 2019.
