Internationally renowned South African DJ, Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo, recently celebrated his 49th birthday.
The Grammy Award-winning artist marked the occasion with an intimate dinner surrounded by close friends and family. Sharing moments from the celebration, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who sent him well wishes.

Black Coffee began 2025 with a charitable focus, launching his Back-to-School Project aimed at ensuring every child has access to essential resources for the new academic year.
“School is where dreams begin. It’s where young minds are shaped, curiosity is nurtured and futures are built. At the Black Coffee Foundation, we believe in the power of education to transform lives and uplift communities.
“Through our Back-to-School Project, we’re committed to making sure every child has what they need to start the school year strong. Let’s work together to give them the tools to dream, learn, and achieve,” wrote Black Coffee.
