In the wake of the news about Black Coffee’s involvement in an accident, an outpouring of tributes followed for the Grammy award-winning South African DJ. The incident occurred during his journey from a performance in Brazil to Mar del Plata, Argentina, and his management team promptly released a statement on all his social media platforms, disclosing that the accident led to unforeseen complications and left him with severe blows to his body.

The statement assured fans that Black Coffee was receiving the best possible medical attention and was surrounded by a supportive family and team. Soon after the announcement, ‘Black Coffee’ and ‘speedy recovery’ became trending topics on X, getting over 150,000 reactions on his Instagram alone.

Among the notable reactions was assumed to be that of his ex-wife, Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa. On her Instagram stories, she shared a video of international producer Fleiva Music crafting a song from the sounds of babies. The attention-grabbing caption read, “Best thing I’ve heard this year,” and it was posted shortly after Black Coffee’s statement. Is the that petty though? Black Coffee and Enhle Mbali were married for eight years before their split in 2019.

Scheduled to perform at the Mute club in the city on January 7, Black Coffee’s show was reportedly cancelled following his hospitalization. The nightclub released a statement informing fans in Argentina about the incident, explaining that severe air turbulence during his private flight from Florianopolis (Brazil) to Mar del Plata forced him to make an emergency landing at Montevideo Airport (Uruguay).

The statement detailed the severe blows to his body, his hospital admission in the city, and the regrettable cancellation of the scheduled performance, expressing apologies to fans and assuring them that the show would be rescheduled. The announcement was made in Spanish.
