Internationally acclaimed South African DJ Black Coffee is swapping the decks for quality family time in Paris.
The Grammy Award-winning DJ, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, has been enjoying a family getaway in the French capital alongside his children, girlfriend Victoria Gonzalez and a wider group of guests.
The group of 10 has been taking in some of Paris’ most recognisable sights while enjoying relaxed moments away from the spotlight.
Black Coffee shares glimpse of Paris getaway
Black Coffee has given his followers a glimpse into the trip through his Instagram Stories, sharing moments from the group’s time in the City of Light.
The Eiffel Tower featured prominently in their sightseeing, while the group also explored the Louvre and wandered through the streets of Paris.
The trip appears to have been just as much about family fun as it has been about sightseeing.
The younger members of the group were seen enjoying playful moments in the park, including doing cartwheels and chasing pigeons.
For Black Coffee, the getaway offers a glimpse of a more personal side of the superstar DJ — away from international stages and his demanding music career.
Black Coffee backs creatives through Art Legacy Fund
While the DJ has been enjoying some downtime in Paris, he has also been involved in a major initiative aimed at supporting South Africa’s creative community.
The Art Legacy Fund, led by Black Coffee, DJ Tira and Merlon and supported by the Black Coffee Foundation, raised more than R3 million during its launch gala in Durban this week.
The initiative aims to provide meaningful support to artists and creatives experiencing difficult circumstances.
Black Coffee has emphasised the importance of creating support systems for members of the creative industry that remain available beyond periods of success and celebration.
The launch is expected to form part of a broader programme aimed at growing the fund and creating a lasting impact within the creative sector.
From enjoying Paris with his family to helping build a stronger support system for fellow creatives, Black Coffee continues to make headlines both on and off the stage.
