DJ Black Coffee has weighed in on the beef between EFF leader Julius Malema and veteran muso Penny Penny, after the Shangaan Disco king seemingly made a "diss track" aimed at the politician.
Black Coffee poked fun at the whole situation, asking tweleb Taka Tina if he'd like to make a diss track of his own as he's always taking shots at the superstar DJ.
Papa Penny shut down the internet over the weekend when a video of him in studio working on the track went viral. In it, Papa Penny can be heard addressing a "Salema", labelling him an "ugly boy" and "stupid boy", and warning him to not get too familiar with him.
While social media users were quick to draw a link between "Salema" and Malema, Papa Penny told TshisaLIVE that he had not mentioned the politician by name.
"I don't mention Malema in the song. I don't use his name," he said.
"I am an artist. I am allowed to sing what I like and that is what I was doing."
He said it was up to listeners to work out who he was singing about - but also confirmed that things are not yet resolved with Malema since the politician called him "uneducated" at a rally.
"We are not fine yet. I want a public apology and he has not apologised yet," said Papa Penny.
