The important lessons Black Coffee is trying to teach his sons

DJ Black Coffee is one doting dad but there are some things he wants to his boys to know.

The DJ has never been shy to show his love for his three boys and, like any dad, he will occasionally grab them for a little chat and to give some fatherly advice.

But if there is one thing he wants his boys to know is the fact that just because you look sharp doesn't mean that you are.

Taking to Instagram this week, the DJ posted a snap of himself with his boys looking pretty dapper. In the caption he revealed that he is "trying to teach" his kids that "dressing smart doesn't make you smart."

The DJ has previously dished out similar pearls of wisdom to his children.

Invest in yourself and your craft

His son Esona is also an aspiring DJ and Black Coffee has posted screenshots of conversations the pair have where he gives his son advice on both music and life.

He recently posted a conversation where he encouraged his son to invest the money he makes from show back into his music.

"Well done. Hope you invest your money back in your music," he wrote in a message to his son.

Take in life's journeys and learn as much as you can

In another instance, Black Coffee reflected on a letter he sent Esona, who had recently gone off on camp.

In his first letter home, Esona had written about missing home, only for Black Coffee to write back to his son with some solid advice.

"I encouraged him as best as I could to take it in and learn as much as he can...even though I knew he was having it hard," the DJ wrote in a post.

Anything you want in life you can have

Taking to Instagram several months ago, Black Coffee posted a lengthy message giving life advice to friends and fans.

"Anything you want in life you can have…I mean anything. Just know there's a price tag‚ so it all depends on your willingness to pay the price. All the prices come in different forms and sizes‚" he wrote.

He later reflected on how he hopes this piece of advice will encourage his children to dream big and not give up on their goals.

"For so long our parents and grandparents were told they are nothing‚ so how do we expect them to tell us the world is our oyster? It is now up to us to change all this. Reverse the system. Seek for greatness. Create a foundation for our kids so when they grow up they never have to look after us‚ and this will require us not to be average," he said.
