DJ Black Coffee gets the apology he was waiting for
Taking to Twitter, Black Coffee noted that this year’s event was still branded Black Coffee Block Party and distanced himself from the concert. Not sure why this show is still ‘Black Coffee Block Party’. I am not part of this show. This is false advertising,” he wrote.
Marketing company Fifth Ace later issued a statement apologising for the “mishap”. It claimed that it had made changes to the name of the event which did not reflect in the marketing Coffee referred to.
“We take full responsibility from a marketing perspective for the mishap with the naming of the event Block Party, as changes were made and didn’t reflect. Block Party had nothing to do with it, we apologise for the confusion caused. Changes are reflecting now.”
