Black Coffee's inspirational message to his son

Johannesburg – Wishing his kid a happy birthday on Thursday, Black Coffee wrote an motivational message, encouraging his 18-year-old son to enjoy life. 

The DJ started off the post by talking about his own difficulties when he first became a father. “This dude… I was only 23 when he was born… even though all the odds were against me… being a student and no job this was one of the happiest days of my life. His mother names him Esona Sinokuhle, his grandmother names him Mava, his unofficial name that I gave him was Mcebo for he became my motivation and the reason I woke up and chased all of my dreams.” 

He then went on to encourage his son with some wise words. “Enjoy life my son, start whatever it is you want to do, don’t wait, make mistakes, grow, learn, love unconditionally, laugh, fight for what’s right, forgive, lead, hug, cry, never conform, stay woke, don’t keep negative people in your space, read, take walks, love yourself, enjoy your own company, celebrate all victories big or small and most importantly remember to stay close to God ask HIM to always lead your way,” he wrote. 

Now that sounds like a dad who knows what he's talking about!
