Black Coffee is not the only South African deejay who is adored by the biggest rapper in the world which is Drake.
It turns out that the international Canadian rapper is a big fan of private school Amapiano as well, so much to a point that he had to send Kelvin Momo a DM on Instagram just to show him some love.
You my friend…are from another planet
Says Drake.
Kelvin Momo shared the screenshot of the Instagram conversation on Twitter.

Kelvin Momo tweeted.
Kelvin Momo (born Thato Kelvin Ledwaba in Diepkloof, Soweto in 1994) is a leading light of “private school amapiano” a variation of the genre that employs elements of jazz, deep house and lounge.
In 2019, he released singles such as the atmospheric “Abantu Bethu” with C.A. Souls as well as the breezy smash “Yelele” with Luu Nineleven and DJ Stoks, and was featured heavily on the ninth edition of the influential label House Afrika’s Mzansi House compilation.
The producer’s 2020 debut album, Momo’s Private School, released under Amapiano pioneer Kabza De Small’s label Piano Hub, is driven by darting keys and lush pads, replaced Amapiano’s customary grit with a refined sheen, resulting in a stone-cold classic.
That same year, he followed the record up with the EP Bayeke, released in collaboration with his partner, the vocalist Babalwa M.
