Mbali Mlotshwa Begged Her Uncles to Let Her Marry Black Coffee Because He Was a Millionaire

A shocking revelation has emerged about the early days of Mbali Mlotshwa and Black Coffee’s once-celebrated marriage — and it’s got Mzansi talking 👀💔.

According to court reports, the actress begged her uncles to approve her marriage to the world-renowned DJ — not only because she loved him, but also because he was a millionaire 💰.

From Love to Luxury to Lawsuits 💔

During their divorce hearing, Mbali reportedly told the court that she had sacrificed her acting career for her husband and that, at one point, Black Coffee used to give her R500,000 per month for personal expenses 😳.

She also claimed that the DJ didn’t want her to kiss male actors on set — a rule that created major tension in their marriage. From that moment, things began to fall apart, leading to constant conflict and emotional distance 💭.

“I gave up a lot for our family. I supported him, stood by him, and he turned his back on me,”
Mbali reportedly told the court.

Black Coffee’s Side of the Story ☕💬

In his response, Black Coffee accused Mbali of becoming controlling and materialistic after fame, saying he had already provided more than enough for her and their children.

He said that after years of success, Mbali changed — focusing more on lifestyle and less on love. Court documents show that the DJ disputed her claims of neglect, saying he had fulfilled all financial obligations even after their separation.

The Fall of a “Power Couple” 👑➡️💔

For years, Black Coffee and Mbali were seen as the epitome of a South African power couple — blending fame, fortune, and family goals. Their wedding was lavish, their home life looked picture-perfect, and fans admired how they represented “black love” in the spotlight.

But behind closed doors, things were far from perfect.
The marriage slowly crumbled under jealousy, control, and financial tension.

By the time the couple finalized their divorce, it was clear that money and mistrust had played a huge role in their downfall 😢.

Mzansi Reacts 🇿🇦🔥

The story has taken social media by storm, with fans split on who to believe.
Some say Mbali was “in it for the lifestyle,” while others argue that she truly loved Black Coffee but lost herself trying to please him.

One user wrote:

“Sometimes love makes you blind — she gave up everything and got pain in return.”

Another said:

“R500K a month? That’s not love, that’s a salary!”

Where They Stand Now 💫

Since the split, Black Coffee has moved on with his music and global DJ career, performing around the world and reportedly purchasing a R157 million Clifton mansion.

Meanwhile, Mbali has focused on rebuilding her career, returning to TV and speaking openly about her healing journey and self-worth.
