A throwback photo from Black Coffee's humble beginnings left Mzansi feeling fuzzy. The picture was of a club event poster where patrons were charged R10 to see Coffee, and fans compared it to how much he reportedly charges now for a booking.

Mzansi looks back to Black Coffee's come-up

This was a month before he released Home Brewed, and Coffee already had some awards in his cabinet, including a SAMA for Best Dance Album.

However, what stunned fans was the R10 entry fee for the event, which is close to nothing compared to the reported R5.5M booking fee he charges now.

Twitter (X) user MDN News shared the poster and lauded Coffee's growth:

"Every big thing starts small."
