The photo shared on X also shows Ralph Stanfield sitting between DJ Sumbody and Black Coffee on one side and a man believed to be Justin Davaris sitting alone on the other side of the table.

Netizens react to old picture of Black Coffee with alleged gang leader

In the comments section, netizens analysed the photo and raised questions regarding DJ Black Coffee’s relationship with Ralph Stanfield as well as his relationship with American hip-hop mogul Diddy. Others pointed out that Black Coffee looked a bit uncomfortable in the photo.

Here are some of the comments:

@electronicline claimed:

“And opposite is Justin Davaris; strange, he was also sitting opposite Oscar before Oscar went to Jail.”

@sdiraec explained:

“He’s a big fish in Cape Town. Ayepyep and almost all other nightclubs and entertainment establishments pay protection fees to. Well, you guessed it. The security companies hired by the same clubs to provide bouncers belong to…yup, you guessed it!”

@Majabzinee said:

“The dots are connecting. The sad part is that once you die or are arrested, they deny even talking to you, although they find you sitting with them in their house. Look at how Trump is denying his friend Epstein, not even Jesus’ disciples denied him like that.”

@KhayaNtshingila suggested:

“Questions need to be asked about Black Coffee; he’s closely associated with Diddy, now we see he also knows Stanfield.”

@King_Syah_Da_1s asked:

“Why does Black Coffee look a little bit uncomfortable?”

@GeeBeeVon said:

“My late great grandma used to say, ‘If you’re going to lie with dogs, don’t be surprised to wake up with ticks’.”

@StHonorable responded:

“The dots are connecting now.”
