Mzansi slams Chris Excel after trolling Black Coffee's hand

As Black Coffee is Mzansi's pride following gracing international stages like Ibiza and winning a Grammy Award, peeps didn't entertain Chris' joke.

Many said the tweet wasn't funny and joking about people's disabilities is off limits.

@SizzleThobile said:

"I thought the rule was we don't joke about people's disabilities."

@Siyam_Lenkoe shared:

"Is this supposed to be funny?"

@Magivo88 posted:

"Yet he made a lot more than your entire family."

@ProxyTaylor_Sa replied:

"Truly speaking, the hand joke is not even funny. Most poor people like to mock Black Coffee, yet most of them can't even afford basic needs."

@TamthizoDemitri commented:

"Ufunukuba relevant ngokugezela abantu. Mxm, and you can't even afford a second of Black Coffee's time. Someone needs to put you in your place once and for all."

What happened to Black Coffee's hand?

According to IOL, Black Coffee's arm nerves were damaged after he went to a celebration of Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990.

While on his way to a stadium near his home with a crowd, the DJ said a car came speeding at them. Black Coffee added the car didn't hit him but suspects that as he was behind a few people who were probably hit by the car, he fell and dislocated his arm.

Due to being from a small Mthatha town called Ngangelizwe, the medical staff didn't know how to help him.

“The injury is called brachial plexus, which is the damage of nerves. There’s nothing you can do to fix damaged nerves, they can only fix themselves.”
