BLACK COFFEE MAKES HISTORY. . .AKA CONGRATULATE. . .?

Seems like AKA can’t stay away from of controversy, twar or whatever you
wanna call it. . .even with artists outside the hip hop genre. This is not the
first time AKA throws shade at the house Dee-Jay, Black Coffee even after the
house mogul made history.
Black Coffee whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo made history by becoming
the first South African artist to win a BET award held in Los Angeles on
Saturday for Best International Act: Africa.
Kiernan Forbes first tweeted: “As long as a South African artist wins
this award. That’s fine by me”
Then after Nathi got the award, AKA came back to add “Look Black Coffee and me don't dig each other but I
respect him and his art. I acknowledge him for the pioneer he is.” And that
was when fans went bug on him. . .You know black twitter don’t let things
slide.
Shots were fired. . .even Barry Roux (parody) had something something to day:
But I’m guessing this is not something new for the
homey, he’s used to being the center of attention even when the spotlight is not
on him or not supposed to be on him.
Black Coffee walked in a green suit with some black
sneakers, looking as stylish and unique as always. . .on his right, accompanied
by his lovely wife Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa.

In an interview with the SABC Black
Coffee expressed that although it seems a bit weird to be nominated for a BET
award outside the country, he is holding that SA up flag high. His achievement
was acknowledged and praised by the minister of the people, Fikile Mbalula who
tweeted “Congratulations for the win and thank you for hoisting our high”
