Some celebrity friendships leave many people inspired and having aspirations for their own. However, many people do become curious about how it all started, where they met and why they became close.
South African musicians Black Coffee and Mnqobi Mdabe are one of those friendships that some people look up to. The two are currently touring together and have performed on global stages in Ibiza and the States.
In an interview, the Grammy-award winner spoke candidly about when they met and the moment they became buddies.
How did Black Coffee and Mnqobi Mdabe become pals?
In an interview, Coffee said they met in High School and were shocked to hear another student speak IsiZulu at an IsiXhosa medium school.
"I met him in the High School corridor. I heard him speak IsiZulu, and I was like Wow, because we were in uMthatha and everyone was speaking IsiXhosa. Then we became friends," he said.
Coffee mentioned that the musician grew up in Ntuzuma, and he is from Umlazi, so they clicked based on their similar backgrounds.
After completing their school studies, they had different ambitions; Coffee wanted to study music production, and his friend was taking a gap year.
During his studies, the Drive hitmaker spoke about the time he stole the key to the recording studio because he was not allowed in there as a bridging student. After making a duplicate key at the locksmith, Coffee said he snuck into the studio every weekend and would call Mdabe. He previously opened up about having to drop out of his studies due to financial constraints.
