Uncle Waffles Responds To Being Criticized On Twitter. Uncle Waffles went from begging to play a 5-minute set in a club to becoming one of the most booked DJs in the country in a matter of days. The 21-year-old viral sensation is the hottest DJ on the block right now and is even followed by award-winning rapper, Drake. This is a blessing that Uncle Waffles – whose real name is Lungelihle Zwane – does not take for granted.
Since Uncle Waffles started trending on Twitter, some comments came off as negative and the star felt it was about time she addressed them. In her recent post, Uncle Waffles tweeted that she doesn’t personally handle her Twitter account, however, she is aware of what was being said about her. “I had mentioned on an earlier live that I didn’t handle my Twitter anymore but I’m back because what’s being said is genuinely getting out of hand,” she wrote.
She further went on to say that she is thankful for her team who go above and beyond to ensure that her career is never sabotaged. “I’d just like to say, my team is the biggest blessing in my life when it comes to my career. They go above and beyond for me, the narrative that’s being shared is so disheartening. They have never made me feel uncomfortable or treated me inappropriately.”
“Neither has anyone else that’s come into my life, everyone has respected and actually showed me an incredible amount of love. Coming here and having to explain how people who have completely dedicated their lives to helping me grow, guide me, show me love, encourage me and actually carry me thru all the turmoil of a “blow up” really sucks Bc of how it’s made them feel. Everything being posted is being twisted and taken out of context, kk and everyone is my family,” she explained.
“My moment is being striped away because now people in my life who helped me and believed in me before a lot of people are becoming affected. Even making the decision a few days ago to no longer handle my social media Bc I was becoming overwhelmed and hyper focusing on the hate. I appreciate all the love above all else, I needed to clarify this. Those are my people who are part of my everyday and have really held me down. Let’s not touch that part. Even typing this with the feeling that it will still be altered sucks aswell, genuinely my people love me,” she concluded.
