South Africa's Reaction to Uncle Waffles

While Uncle Waffles continues to gain international recognition, not everyone back home is celebrating her success. Some South Africans have expressed mixed feelings about her performances, particularly focusing on her bold fashion choices. Critics argue that her outfits overshadow her musical talent, sparking a debate about the role of appearance in the music industry.

One user, XhosAnela, shared their thoughts, saying, "Men rule the world because why are women sexualizing themselves to remain relevant in these streets? It's a man's world." Another commenter, eemz_em, chimed in, praising other female DJs who’ve managed to rise without resorting to revealing outfits: "Props to Zinhle and Cndo, who became the first prominent female DJs in this country without forcing the audience to see their underwear."

Others were more direct in their criticism. _Lehlo wrote, "There's no reason for her to DJ dressed like this," while MalumeRichie added, "How this person is still relevant, I don’t know." The conversation even took a humorous turn when Martin29161958 joked, "Can’t you be a DJ without being naked? Or is it that the sound is not heard correctly when you are fully clothed?"

Amaze_M wasn’t shy about dragging Uncle Waffles, stating, "This girl is only famous because of the G-string and continued nakedness. Her talent is equal to that of Cyan." Despite the backlash, it’s clear that Uncle Waffles has captured the attention of many, whether for her music or her bold choices.
