Black Coffee is being roasted on social media after he shared a flyer of his birthday gig.
Eagle-eyed social media users noticed that Euphonik was booked for the gig under his real name, Themba. Many suspected that Black Coffee used the controversial DJs name because of the current bad publicity surrounding him.
Taking to Black Coffee’s social media post, tweeps blasted the musician for working with Euphonik. Twitter user Nomie_fied said:
“Not Euphonik getting booked and being called Themba. Men don’t care shem. Not even the ones that pretend to be for justice.”
Theokingb said:
“Black Coffee is the same man who was kikiing and having lunch + dinner with ‘THEMBA’ at The Bungalow, 2 weeks ago. The day after he dropped a fake screenshot. Women were at their table too. It was all too disgusting.”
MsKelebogile said:
“Was using his name Themba (& not Euphonik) a way to not show people that you’re actively supporting an abuser?”
MasikiMorgan said:
“So Black Coffee must take the heat and suffer because of something he didn't even do, just because wow he is also a man?? The celebrity pressure is too much ai fok.”
JonasSivuyile said:
“Black coffee has done nothing wrong. Euphonik (Themba) will always be seen as rapist. But the law works on evidence. “Just because there is no evidence, doesn’t mean the rape didn’t happen”. Yes, but society works on innocent till proven guilty, not on allegations.”

Meanwhile Briefly.co.za reported that Black Coffee has responded to the criticism of his new music. Many people have shared that the world-renowned DJ no longer produces music for the South African audience in mind. The star dropped his new album Subconsciously recently.
Many social media users shared that Black Coffee's sound has become too international. The superstar musician worked with international stars such as David Guetta, Pharrell Williams and Cassie, just to name a few, in the new project.
The artist has shared that he switched his style up because of his many fans across the globe. The star recently told Ukhozi FM that he now has to cater to an international audience but has not abandoned his deep house sound that many people love him for.
He worked with Mzansi musos Sun-EL Musician and Tellaman on some of the songs that are on the project.
Coffee told the SABC station that he wanted to show his versatility in the new album. He shared that one of the biggest songs in the album is Drive - a song he did with international DJ, David Guetta.
"I have people I work with internationally when we meet up we sit down and discuss how we are going to do the album. This is the first album that allowed me to work with international artists to this extent."
