Most of the time, your fans will make or break you. Social media has proven to be the most dangerous place where artists usually looses their focus as they caught in between their own life style and of their fans . Being an artist isn’t easy, but you have to make a choice to make it work.
Unfortunately for people like Black coffee, the hype in fans doesn’t do anything to him. Coffee went on social media at midnight last night to say that South African artists shouldn’t believe everything their fans say about them. He continued to say that fans must not give them a hype to beef up with their fellow artists as this has consequences in the end .
As soon as he posted this, fans attacked him and questioned his work as a DJ. Coffee is not only a South African DJ, but also a DJ who plays all over the world. He has been doing this for a long time. His music is hard to understand in SA right now, but he doesn’t mind too much because he gets paid in dollars at the end of the day. Coffee also has a very good side. Recently, he helped Dr. Malinga, whose things were being sold off because he owed SARS money.
I think Coffee was talking about beef up going back to what fans would suggest on social media and how other artists would respond to such requests. I also think that if you want to be an artist, you need to know who you are. The industry is bad, and it takes strong people to avoid being swayed by temptations. The hate may currently be of Black Coffee but he is definitely telling the truth .
