Black Coffee Black Coffee
Rapper AKA and DJ Black Coffee have fans split over who to side with, after a violent exchange between the DJ and the rapper’s manager.
Sunday saw a back and forth of veiled tweets between the two camps where they both threatened to finish what was started by Black Coffee in Polokwane on Saturday evening.
The scuffle between the camps allegedly began when AKA was late for his set at DStv’s iRock festival and tried to go on during the time that was scheduled for the DJ’s set. A video shows Black Coffee angrily waving his finger at someone before AKA manager Tshiamo Letshwene’s arrived to speak to him.
The short interaction was followed by a swift slap from Black Coffee.
Letshwene claimed that all he had said to Black Coffee was that they had set up according to the stage manager’s request.
“We communicate with the promoters, not artists who bully us to get off stage when stage manager said we should setup,” he said.
AKA did not take the slap to his manager lying down. In another video taken that night, the rapper is shown flailing around in his white outfit trying to fight his way to Black Coffee. He was pulled away.

Sunday was left to a war of words, with AKA ranting in a series of tweets. He said: “The media likes to portray me as an aggressive person ..... Please explain to me what part of Black Coffee smacking my road manager is ok?”
And added: “To everyone who came to see me perform, ASK DSTV I ROCK & Black Coffee FOR YOUR MONEY BACK. Right now.”
Black Coffee was billed to both perform at KONG in Rosebank last night and AKA dared the DJ to make a move and declared that he’ll be there.
“Look...This is a small world. I’m sure at some point I will run into coffee. I’d like to see him try and hit me. He’s a coward.”
To which Black Coffee responded indirectly saying: “I’m a coward...I fear God..I’ll be @KONG_urban tonight.”
As the day ended though, the rapper withdrew his threat of a duel.
“After thinking about it, we have nothing to gain by going there tonight, everything to lose. I don't go ... I'm a bitch. I go ... I'm violent. It's a lose lose. Rather take the L and keep everything I've worked for intact...After all.... I'm not the person who was assaulted. Nobody put hands(hand) on me. I'm just going to have to let it fly ... And focus.”
AKA: I'd have coffee with one sugar.
Waitress: Black Coffee?

AKA has no respect for anyone, this why people are celebrating Black Coffee. Imagine if the slap was done to AKA instead
