Where it went wrong between Black Coffee and Zakes
People noticed a very loud absence from Zakes Bantwini, and many people speculated why he was not invited. X blogger @ChirsExcel ignited the debate with a post which reads:

"My brother Black Coffee didn’t invite Zakes Bantwini to his 50th birthday. Grootman will never forgive that “Clap your hands” song anytime soon."
In 2024, a resurfaced video of the duo performing together went viral, with many fans wishing they would fix things.
Back in 2021, Black Coffee shaded Zakes' Osama by telling a fan on X that he preferred the original instead of his version.
Podcaster Sol Phenduka then asked him the real reason for his remarks, to which he responded, “There's no conflict, we had our differences, and both agreed not to have a working relationship any more.”
He then defended small-time producers, saying they do not get credited for their work.
“People got quite emotional the last time, so this time I'll let them judge. Look, it's all love over here, but the sad thing is we have a community of young producers that are also dependent on this and are trying their best to stay afloat with a genre that isn't mainstream. Someone has to say something. This particular song isn't even out yet. It's just been played by DJs exclusively, and now it's here.”

Mzansi debates Zakes and Coffee's falling out
Below are some of the reactions online:
@luyanda25x alleged:
"The song is not a problem. They started not getting along after he was with Mbali. Nandi wasn't happy that her husband was friends with someone who didn't value his family."
@LwaziEmmanuel1 said:
"I wonder where's Culolwethu Zulu aka Culoe De Song! There is a lot going on here."
@Ntokoso said:
"A friend who becomes an enemy after a little misunderstanding has been an enemy all along. They were just pretending."
@Magatsheni90722 replied:
"Even Unathi didn’t make the cut after posting him 75 times on Instagram. But Dinangwe and Somgaga made it."
