The South African music scene is once again shaken after a leaked phone call between Amapiano sensations Uncle Waffles and PCee surfaced on social media, shedding new light on recent allegations of exploitation made by PCee.
Earlier this week, PCee—best known for his smash hit “Kilmanjaro”—sparked controversy after claiming he had been exploited by several figures in the music industry, including an indirect reference to Uncle Waffles. The 25-year-old DJ and performer, whose real name is Lungelihle Zwane, has been on a meteoric rise in the Amapiano genre, earning international acclaim for her electrifying performances at festivals like Coachella and AfroNation. Given her status, the association with exploitation claims quickly became a hot topic.
But now, a private phone call between the two artists has leaked, adding fuel to the fire. In the audio clip—shared on X (formerly Twitter) by an anonymous user—Uncle Waffles is heard questioning PCee’s motives behind including her in the allegations. Her voice is calm but firm, as she defends her character and expresses shock at being named.
PCee, sounding slightly taken aback, doesn’t directly deny making the comment but rather expresses regret about the way the story escalated. The conversation continues with both artists attempting to clear the air, though it remains unclear whether the call ended with any resolution.
Social media reactions have been intense, with fans of both artists debating who was in the wrong. Some users praised Uncle Waffles for directly confronting the issue, while others criticized PCee for not standing up for himself and confronting the situation openly.
This leak comes at a sensitive time for the Amapiano genre, as conversations around artist management, fair compensation, and collaboration ethics have grown louder in recent months. With both artists remaining tight-lipped since the leak, fans are left waiting to see whether either will make an official statement.
The music industry—and Mzansi—are watching closely, as this developing story continues to unfold.
