Last week (26 July 2015) AKA was involved in yet another Twitter war but this time it was with Black Coffee. Black Coffee the house music legend, with as many props and accolades as any international DJ and the Supa Mega, AKA. In my head it was House vs Hip Hop and whoever won was going to claim rights to the Nae Nae. It was interesting to see fans split up, one half in support of the Megacy and the other half in support of King Coffee.

After much debate between my partner and I we have decided to breakdown the feud and see what lessons can be taken from it. In this article you will find two perspectives for every issue discussed. There are opinions from a Coffee stan and in bold italics are responses coming from an AKA stan.

I am a fan of AKA and how he has grown in the last 3 years but I just worry sometimes that he is easily knocked out of focus. Music is always the answer; it will always be the answer. Twitter is not a real world, the sooner he realizes that, the better off he will be.

Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo (born 19 March 1976), better known by his stage name Black Coffee, is a South African DJ, record producer and songwriter. His accolades include eight South African Music Awards, four DJ Awards, two Metro FM Awards and a Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.[4][5]

He began his career in 1994, and gained recognition for his participation in the 2004 Red Bull Music Academy a decade later. Maphumulo established the record label Soulistic Music to release his debut self-titled album Black Coffee (2005), which incorporated elements of R&B and jazz. He has since released nine studio albums.[6][7][8][9]

Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo was born on 11 March 1976 in eThekwini, South Africa. He later moved to Umtata, the town 29 km away from the home of Nelson Mandela Qunu village, staying at the Ngangelizwe township.On the 11 February 1990, while celebrating the release of Nelson Mandela, a car, with headlights off, rammed through the crowd, hitting people in front of Maphumulo, the force of which hit him[10] and left him with a brachial plexus injury resulting in him losing the use of his left arm.[11][12]

He majored in Jazz Studies at Technikon Natal, now known as the Durban University of Technology,[14] before working as a backup singer for Madala Kunene[15] together with then schoolmates: Mnqobi Mdabe (Shota) and Thandukwazi Sikhosana (Demor).[16] Maphumulo, Shota and Demor later formed an Afro-pop trio called SHANA (Simply Hot and Naturally African) which was signed to Melt 2000, then headed by Robert Trunz.[17]

He was chosen as one of two South African participants in the Red Bull Music Academy in 2003, jump-starting him into the South African dance music scene.[18] His first big break was when his song 'Happiness' was featured on the 'DJs at Work' album.[19]

In 2005, Maphumulo launched his career with a remix of Hugh Masekela's 1972 hit Stimela.[20] Later that year he released his self-titled debut album,[19] and created his record company Soulistic Music.[21] The album sampled songs of notable South African artists like Thandiswa Mazwai, Hugh Masekela and featured Busi Mhlongo, among others.[22][11] He was well received in the country and was quickly lauded as a "rising star."[23] His album, 'Black Coffee', was created using very basic music-making software. Maphumulo himself stated,

"I don't know how to explain the production stages of my album because all I did was put down the basic ideas that I had. I didn't use any MIDI controllers; everything was played with a computer mouse".[24]

By Mid-2007, Black Coffee had become recognized in the South African DJ scene with tribal, vocal-laced beats.[25] In the same year he released his second studio album titled Have Another One,[26] which featured "Wathula Nje," a remix of Victor Ntoni's 2004 jazz ballad "Thetha". "Wathula Nje" was later released in Europe together with "Even Though" featuring Bantu Soul through the European label Realtone Records on vinyl[27] and on digital. The twelve-track album featured the likes of Siphokazi, Busi Mhlongo, and Kwaito sensation L'vovo. It also debuted a then 17-year-old high school producer from Eshowe Kwa Zulu Natal, Culoe De Song, who became the second artist to be signed under Soulistic Music.[28] Maphumulo discovered and collaborated with Culoe De Song on an afro-electronic dub titled 100 Zulu warriors.[29][30]

During this period Black Coffee performed at the Red Bull Music Academy Lounge at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona,[31] alongside recognized DJs such as Little Louie Vega, Alix Alvarez, Frank Roger, Charles Webster, DJ Spinna and Osunlade.[32]

In 2010, he tried to make it to Guinness Book of World Records when he performed for 60 hours non-stop at Maponya Mall, Soweto.[37] He also won two awards in the categories of Best Urban Dance Album and Best Male Artist at the 2010 South African Music Awards.[38][39]

In 2011, Africa Rising was launched at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. It included a live band and 24-piece orchestra in front of an audience of about 8,000 people and was filmed for the Africa Rising DVD.[9] That year saw four other releases including Culoe de Song's "Elevation",[40] Sai & Ribatones "Here and Now,"[41] Boddhi Satva's "Invocation"[42] and the label's "Soulistic Music Cuts."[43]

In 2012, the "Africa Rising" DVD and triple-CD sold double platinum in a space of a month.[44] Maphumulo featured different artists on the album, such as Bucie and soulful musician Toshi Tikolo on the song "Buya."[45]

In 2013, he performed internationally at locations such as Southport Weekender,[46] Panoroma Bar,[47] Circoloco,[48] Boiler Room.[49] He also participated in music conferences like ADE[50] and RBMA in Johannesburg.[51] That same year, he was involved in notable collaborations with musical group Mi Casa[52] and house duo Black Motion.[53] He also became one of the key speakers on his friend Vusi Thembekwayo's tour.[54] In South Africa, he was featured in November 2013 in the Destiny Man edition of Destiny.[55]

Pieces of Me was released in the second week of September and which was certified platinum a month after release by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA).[59][60] It received criticism for its cover and title bearing a similarity to that of the 2011 album Pieces of Me by US singer Ledisi.[61] Musically, the album was widely positively received, with some music critics saying that it was among the best music albums of the year.[62] It went platinum in South Africa in October.[63] On this album, he collaborated with Azola, Portia Monique, Ribatone, Nakhane Toure, Mondli Ngcobo, Kensy, NaakMusiq & Lungi Naidoo.[64][65]

In 2018, he released a single where he collaborated with David Guetta that was titled "Drive" featuring Delilah Montagu.[71] It was featured on Guetta's album 7.[72] At the end of that year, he released a seven-track EP titled Music Is King.[73] The EP features Msaki, Samthing Soweto, Mondli Ngcobo, Karyendasoul, and Zhao.[74] Music Is King was nominated for Best Dance Album, Album of the Year and won Best Male Artist of the Year at 25th South African Music Awards. In December 2019, he embarked on Music Is King Concert to promote his EP, performed at Ticketpro Dome, Johannesburg on 14 and Kings Park Outer Field, Durban on 15.[75]


In 2014, Maphumulo was accused of infidelity with a local model. It was reported that a woman from the Free State region was blackmailing Maphumulo, and demanded SAR100,000 from him to not release a sex tape which verified her claims.[86] In August 2018, the DJ admitted to the affair, which he explained was the result of "being young and being overwhelmed by fame".[87]

The couple separated in July 2019, with divorce proceedings beginning later that year.[90][91][92] The divorce proceedings continued into 2020 and with them came further scandals. This included the publication of a leaked set of documents allegedly showing some of the financial demands being made by Mlotshwa.[93]

The now-divorced couple made headlines once more in April 2021 when TrueLove, a division of South African media company Media24, reported that Enhle Mbali had filed for a protection order against her ex-husband, alleging that he had assaulted her at her birthday dinner held at a home still shared by the couple. The allegations were made during a time of extremely high levels of Gender Based Violence (GBV) that were being experienced in South Africa. The report came following a statement from Mbali confirming that she was seeking a protection order and that, according to her, it was her "duty as a woman to not only fight for myself, but for every single woman in South Africa". She further went on to mention two widely known cases of alleged GBV, including that of Reeva Steenkamp, and that she wanted to help bring an end to these cases.

The DJ immediately responded to the allegation in a series of Tweets in which he denied the claims of assault while also recounting the GBV he witnessed within his own household while growing up. He further implied that this was an attempt by Mbali to separate him from his children and "their" home. He ended the Tweets with one which explained that he, "as a law-abiding citizen", would be observing the demands of the interim order but would fight against the permanent installation of the order.[94]

On the 7th of May 2021, the DJ once again took to Twitter to share the news that the South African Court had ruled in his favour and set aside the interim protection order while also dismissing Mbali's case.[95] In a since-deleted video on Instagram, Mbali announced that she "would no longer protect" Maphumulo and would be speaking openly about the abuse she alleged to have suffered as well as further alleging that Maphumulo had also emotionally tormented their children. Mbali then announced that she would be a holding a press conference in which she would publicize evidence, text messages and "everything else that was lied about".[96] 152ee80cbc
