Fresh off his Grammy win, DJ Black Coffee arrived with his mother Faith Dandala at a family and friends celebration party in Joburg last night.
Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, said he was still overwhelmed by his big win on Sunday.
"I'm just a little boy who just wanted to play music like my heroes Oskido and Christos. So to get this far, for that boy who was extremely ambitious and wanted to play music, it's silly. Fast forward to a moment on Sunday in Vegas where my name was called ... I'm still overwhelmed, as I am in this moment," he told his guests.
The event, hosted by Arena Holdings, owners of Gallo Records co-owned by Black Coffee, was MC'd by Scandal! actor Nomvelo Makhanya and attended by politicians Julius Malema, minister Fikile Mbalula and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
A-listers including Oskido, Rich Mnisi, Major League DJz, singer Shota, actress Rami Chuene and Distruction Boyz's Thobani "Que" Mgobhozi were also in attendance at the event held at the Tang Restaurant in Sandton.
Chairman and founder of Lebashe Investment Group (owners of Arena Holdings) Tshepo Mahloele was also there.
Black Coffee showed up in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton, while his mother rocked MaXhosa Africa by Laduma Ngxokolo. The We Dance Again hitmaker scooped the award for best dance/electronic music album in Las Vegas, US, on Sunday night SA time.
He won the Grammy for his 2021 album Subconsciously. He beat Illenium, Major Lazer, Marshmello, Sylvan Esso and Ten City. The album featured Pharrell Williams, Una Rams, Usher, Tellaman, Msaki, David Guetta and Diplo.
The award-winning DJ arrived in SA on Tuesday night to a huge welcome at OR Tambo International Airport
