Black Coffee has become one of the world's biggest DJs and music producers, but there is a lot about the South African musician that people don't know.
 

In a recent episode of British TV personality Steven Bartlett's podcast series, The Diary of a CEO, the musician spoke openly about his childhood, his career and more extensively about an accident that changed his life forever.
 

On 10 February 1990, when Black Coffee – real name Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo – was 14 years old, he was involved in an accident that left him permanently injured. 
 

The 46-year-old first spoke about what happened in a lengthy social media post in 2017, explaining why he performs with his left hand in his pocket.
 

When Bartlett asked about what happened, Black Coffee admitted that "for years it was hard for me to share," but he added that he is "in a better space now" and can talk about it in more detail.
