Preceding send-off party set, Black Coffee had a media session outlining the purpose of the Madison Square Garden (MSG) and what it means to be part of it.
After making a grand entrance, the relaxed but emotional BC said, being invited to grace one of the biggest entertainment shows in the world, is surreal.
“This is exciting times but at the same time, emotional since all what I’m doing reflects back to what I used to do dream about as a young boy, at a very young age, wanting to achieve things and all that,” he said.
“My story is written and God must guide me. I pray a lot because all of this is through Him and everyday, I thank the All Mighty God for being there for me and my family, guiding and let me do what I know best. This is my craft nothing else.”
