South African DJ Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo, popularly known as Black Coffee opened up about why he bought his neighbours home, on an episode of The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett on 3 October.

BLACK COFFEE ON MOVING INTO A FLAT

Following his divorce from actress Enhle Mbali, Black Coffee moved out of his marital home. He then moved into a flat, while looking for a new home.

“The house I left I just finished building. Now I live in an flat like a student. Let me look for a house for myself, then I look for a house and I found it. So I have the house but now, I’m like it’s a big house but it’s lonely because I’m from a family,” he said.

The DJ got lonely and asked his mom to move in with him.

“I live alone, so I’m like mom, don’t you want to move and come stay with me? I think it’s a noble thing you know because my mom had a heart problem,” he continued.

BLACK COFFEE ON BUYING HIS NEIGHBOUR’S HOME

However, he felt like he couldn’t bring over his friends to have a party because his mom is in the other room. Black Coffee received a call from a neighbour who was selling their home and leaving South Africa. So, he decided to buy his neighbour’s home.

“She moves and then uh I have the warmth of the family right it’s nice and I’m like but is this my life? I live with my mother, so it means I can’t bring my friends here to have a little party because my mom is in the other room,” he added.

“Then it bothers me so much and I think I remember having a conversation with my friend I’m like man I love it but at the same time I even told her you know I’m like I just feel like this can’t be it you know I’m like I’m about to finalise my divorce and I live with my mother,”
