Grammy Award-winning South African DJ Black Coffee has reacted to a report alleging that he commented against the anti-illegal immigration protests in the country.
The producer set the record straight in a brief tweet, sparking reactions.
As South Africans count down to the proposed national shutdown on 30 June 2026, demanding the departure of undocumented foreigners, DJ Black Coffee has broken his silence.
The wheel spinner, who recently set a record with his sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena, broke his silence after a quote on the protests calling for undocumented foreigners to leave South Africa was falsely attributed to him.
On Saturday, 6 June 2026, Black Coffee took to his X (Twitter) account and shared a screenshot of a quote falsely attributed to him. The photo was captioned: “Fake news.”
The screenshot consisted of Black Coffee and a quote of him seemingly speaking of the negative impact of the protests against illegal immigrants in South Africa. The quote read: Fake News
