Black Coffee’s declaration of faith goes viral after near-death experience
DJ BLACK Coffee has become the latest celebrity to embrace his faith and commit his life to God.
He joins the likes of fellow musicians Cassper Nyovest and Puerto Rican star Daddy Yankee, who have recently embraced their Christian faiths.
The Doc Shebeleza hitmaker made headlines last month when he decided to step away from the limelight to prioritise his spiritual journey.
In 2023, the award-winning rapper had a “transformative encounter with God”, leading him to embrace Christianity and he got baptised.
Meanwhile, in December Daddy Yankee announced he was retiring from music and devoting his life to serving Jesus Christ.
Now, the award-winning DJ, record producer and songwriter – whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo – has been cast into the spotlight, following a viral video in which he is seen making a public declaration of faith.
This decision came in the wake of a harrowing plane accident last month.
The DJ sustained significant injuries while travelling on his private plane from Brazil to Argentina.
The plane experienced severe air turbulence and was forced to make an emergency landing at Montevideo Airport in Uruguay.
This prompted the musician to embark on a spiritual journey, and in the video, widely shared on social media, Black Coffee is seen stepping forward at a church service, still wearing a neck brace from the accident.
Scores of fans have reacted positively and have taken to social media to wish him well.

@alilEON99_ added: “Cassper Nyovest, Black Coffee, Kabelo, heaven is rejoicing.”
But @Centiaeres added: “Charismatic churches are making a lot of money now people will flock 2 that church. Nice move.”
Other comments highlighted broader concerns about the commodification of faith, the authenticity of public displays of religious devotion and the potential exploitation of religious institutions for financial gain.
