The musician continues to create hits while showing off an incredible fashion sense for a grandpa, and Legit.ng shines a light on some of his unique and crazy looks.
1. The singer was born Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba back in 1956 and started music as a background vocalist in the 1970's.

4. His white beard also gives him a very young-ish look, and when it comes to African wear, the old man does not play.
5. In his music videos, the singer goes extra crazy on his outfits and tries untested waters giving almost perfect results.
His recent music video with Bongo star Diamond is a great example.
6. Even though spotting a potbelly, Koffi tries to maintain a good physique which definitely helps maintain his looks.
7. Bright colours are essential to the singer and for someone who loves standing out, what better way than to don some shouting suits.
8. There is probably no singer in Africa that has adapted to the ever-changing trends and even become a trendsetter in his own right.
9. The singer has left a mark in music in Africa and the world and certainly deserves a museum not only detailing his music but fashion.
Nice one.
