South Africans are offering their congratulations to DJ Black Coffee who won his first Grammy award on Sunday.
He won the best dance/electronic music album category for his Subconsciously album.
Black Coffee dedicated his win to upcoming African talents.
“African kids who are watching, they may think they don’t stand a chance to get on a global stage like this. I want to just say to them it is possible,” he said.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has thanked him for “inspiring a new generation of talent to take over the world”. One Twitter user wrote: “A little boy named Nkosinathi Innocent Sizwe Maphumulo from KwaZulu-Natal grew up to become a Grammy winner on April 3, 2022. Black child, it is possible. Congratulations, Black Coffee.”
