Posted on his Instagram page on 3 March 2026, the Drumboss was captured wearing oversized distressed jeans, paired with a white shirt, denim jacket and several accessory pieces.

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to an old picture of DJ Black Coffee that raised questions about his fashion sense.

Online users roasted the DJ for the unusual pairing of his outfit, seeing that he was already established in the international market and could afford a professional stylist.

Others joked that perhaps it was a look worn by many rich people at the time, and that fans were "too broke" to understand.
