Which other SA stars attended the Met Gala?

Black Coffee tries to defend Scotts Maphuma

In a previous report from Briefly News, DJ Black Coffee took to X (formerly ko Twitter) to give a shout-out to amapiano singer Scotts Maphuma.

The Shayi'Moto singer faces backlash from his fans and netizens for his treatment towards his supporters. At some point, he dared people to try and cancel him, simply because he refuses to take photos.

However, despite Coffee's interference, people are not backing down and are adamant about teaching Scotts Maphuma a lesson, saying not even Black Coffee can fix things for the singer.
