You might think that all it took for her to get here was just those 27-seconds of fame. That was a catalyst but Uncle Waffles’ journey began in Swaziland. Before she got into deejaying, Uncle Waffles was a cover model for Swazi Bride Magazine, a presenter for an entertainment show on Swazi1 and did a receptionist job.
It was during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown that she began making clips of herself dancing and deejaying and went on to become an internet sensation.
Uncle Waffles had a crazy year in 2021. After her newly found fame, she announced that she got upwards of 120 gigs in a space of two months. She however did not reveal how much she charged per show. That notwithstanding, social media went into a guessing game trying to estimate how much money she made.
It’s a small world at least on social media where someone from anywhere can land on your page. Uncle Waffles knows this so well. In April 2022, US rapper Drake gave Uncle Waffles the time of her life when he mentioned her on his Instastories to his more than 100 million followers.
Uncle Waffles revealed that she was overwhelmed by this move which undoubtedly boosted her visibility and brand. The two are yet to meet.

There’s still some eerie silence about who Uncle Waffles’ Boyfriend is or could be. We can’t even tell if she has one, to begin with as she posts and talks bout her work.
An irate Uncle Waffles took to her Twitter account and slammed reports she is transgender. These allegations surfaced after a picture of her posing with her dancers emerged online.
In a Twitter thread, she expressed her support for the trans community and accused news publications of trying to bring her down but vowed to maintain her image.
Celebrity basher Silk Talk did not have anything nice to say about Uncle Waffles. He described her as the worst highest-paid DJ and stated that she is overhyped for nothing. Silk Talk even compared Uncle Waffles to South African celeb Kamo Mphela whom he opined busked in her ‘short-lived fame and has since fallen off the cliff.
In response, Uncle Waffles said that people are misinterpreting things and taking away her shine for no reason. As a result, she handed her social media accounts to her team in order to focus on the important things. Despite the negativity, Uncle Waffles still forges on.
The late Riky Rick was dragged after he shot a video dancing with internet sensation Uncle Waffles. Whilst Riky Rick made a name for himself for supporting upcoming talent, many were suspicious about this move from him. Was it about supporting Uncle Waffles or was he using it for self-promotion?
The UK audience was not pleased with Uncle Waffles' performance after she sold out the Aroma LDN arena. Many opined that she underdelivered particularly after the hype she received.
This sparked an argument between South Africans and British Amapiano lovers. Mzansi came to Uncle Waffles' defence and accused the Brits of not understanding the Amapiano genre.
The DJ earns money that allows her to buy the finer things in life. That said, she hasn't disclosed the car she moves around in.
Ever since she got famous, work has been trickling in for the DJ which means she is cashing in big. She also earns from brand endorsement deals. Her net worth is estimated to be $150,000.
