Black Coffee Pleads for Privacy: "Please Stop Posting My Children" Amid Divorce (South Africa 🇿🇦)

 

 Renowned DJ and music producer Black Coffee (Nkosinathi Maphumulo) has taken to social media to make a heartfelt plea for the privacy of his children, as his high-profile divorce proceedings continue to make headlines.

The Grammy-winning artist, known globally for his deep house music, posted a terse but powerful message on his Twitter account, directly addressing the public and media outlets sharing images of his family.

Statement on Twitter

Black Coffee's statement acknowledged the widespread interest in his personal life but drew a clear line when it came to his children.

"I understand that you people believe everything you read and that's fine, as a father I have one request. Please stop posting my children on your platforms," he wrote.

The DJ's request comes as news and speculation surrounding his ongoing divorce from actress and fashion designer Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa continues to dominate local media. The couple's separation has been a topic of intense public scrutiny, which Black Coffee suggests has led to his children being unwillingly thrust into the spotlight.

Focus on Family

While Black Coffee did not elaborate on specific incidents or reports, his message underscores a desire to shield his children from the fallout and public discussion surrounding the divorce. The statement is a clear boundary-setting move from a celebrity who has often kept his private life away from his global music career.

As the legal proceedings continue, Black Coffee's appeal is a reminder of the difficult balance between public interest and the right to privacy, especially for the minor children involved in high-profile separations.
