But before we jump to conclusions, let’s get the facts straight. According to reports, Black Coffee’s hand was injured in his youth after a car accident, leaving it paralyzed.
Netizens were quick to slam Nota Baloyi for his insensitivity. One Twitter user, @ChrisExcel102, even joked, “This is why I don’t believe that Stevie Wonder is blind.”
