Black Coffee is a veteran in the music industry, he is even the richest musician in Africa. Even with such huge success, he is still chasing big dreams. He just received the best surprise for his career going forth.
The DJ recently went online to share with his fans that his song, Inkodlo Kamashimane, was featured in the new Matrix movie. The movie is one of Hollywood’s biggest and most successful movie franchises yet, so the whole world will get a chance to experience his song through the film.
7 years ago after losing my father I made a song dedicated to him. Humbled beyond belief to be wrapping up 2021 with this song, “Inkodlo Kamashimane,” being featured in the new @TheMatrixMovie RIP Mashimane❤️#GodsVeryOwnpic.twitter.com/fFUtC5KBsy
But perhaps the most heartwarming thing about his big win is the story behind the selected song. According to Black Coffee, he wrote the song for his father who died seven years ago. It must feel like it was some divine intervention, with his father smiling down on him.
Despite being recognised as a legendary musician in at least three continents, Black Coffee has not had such an opportunity before in his career. He has mostly stuck to playing gigs and releasing albums, but now it looks like his horizons are expanding even more.
Fans have been pouring in his comments to congratulate him on the amazing achievement.
It is beautiful to witness, as one fan reminded him that he had ‘manifested’ having his music used as movie soundtracks, and now he was living the reality of it.
He has also been applauded for his foresight, and the tenacity with which he pursues his dreams. Some fans say that they saw this win coming when he bought an apartment in New York and began mingling with Hollywood executives, and we applaud the planning too!
It has been a beautiful year for the music producer’s career. He got a big international nod, though not his first, when he was nominated for a Grammy. He celebrated the nomination with a big lavish party, surrounded by his friends and loved ones in ZAlebville, and we couldn’t have been prouder.
But he also made the headlines for relationship drama. Not too long ago, he was suspected of having reconciled with his ex wife Enhle Mbali. The two had one of the most toxic relationships in Mzansi history, with allegations of abuse and infidelity flying around. This is why it was quite the shocker when rumours emerged that they were getting back together, as some fans questioned the wisdom of such a decision.
However, Enhle came out and set the record straight, saying she was not dating anyone, or getting back together with anybody. She called out those spreading the rumours as malicious, saying that somebody was getting paid to fabricate that nonsense.
Generally, though, he has had a wonderful year. He made headlines touring different African countries including Kenya, where he received a king’s welcome.
With the talent he has, Black Coffee is on his way to attaining certified G.O.A.T status, and we are here for it. He deserves all these wins and more, and we are happy to see all of Mzansi rallying behind him throughout the journey.
