How a 30-minutes set she wasn’t supposed to get made Uncle Waffles famous!

When we talk about an artful combination of raw ambition, social media charm, a hustler and a determined mindset, the name Uncle Uncle Waffles is always at the top.

Uncle Waffles stumbled upon a formula of a lightening-speed-rise-to-fame and has since ran with it.

This year marks the first year anniversary of her breakthrough in the South African music industry and to say she has grown successfully is an understatement.

On the 16th of October 2021, the DJ shared on social media, a video clip from her 30 minutes set and it changed her life completely, as the video went viral and it garnered her a huge following from South Africans and even the international star, Drake.

Taking to Twitter, Waffles expressed gratitude to God, as she now performs globally.

Speaking to Complex UK about the event that turned her life around, Uncle Waffles said:
“My management had recorded the entire set and I posted one of the clips randomly, not thinking anything of it on the following Saturday afternoon—thinking it might do 50,000 views at most if that. I checked my phone a couple of hours later and saw it was in the hundreds of thousands, but this was all online and I was still going about my daily business so it didn’t really sink in.”
