Grammy Award-winning South African DJ Black Coffee<\/a> responded to an allegation suggesting he made comments on the protests against illegal immigration occurring in the country. He clarified the matter with a succinct tweet, which elicited various reactions.<\/p>\n

As South Africans approach the anticipated national shutdown on 30 June 2026, which calls for the removal of undocumented immigrants, Black Coffee spoke out. The DJ, who recently achieved a milestone with his sold-out performance at London\u2019s O2 Arena, broke his silence after a quote regarding the protests was misattributed to him.<\/p>\n
