This best describes Uncle Waffle’s show, dubbed ‘We ‘Love Waffles London, which was held on Saturday in London, United Kingdom.
The aerial shot of the video posted on her Instagram page on Sunday showed the huge turnout of her fans who came out to see her perform. She also posted snippets of her performance on her social media page, which showed the excitement of the fans who appreciated her set and dance moves.
The DJ, who boasts 2.3 million followers on Instagram, announced how excited she was about the show on her Instagram in the first week of January. The post read, “London, y’all first up, see y’all there.” In a second post, she wrote, “London is really good. Honey, I’m back in time; now I want to give y’all a SH.” Last week, the DJ put out a notice that the show had sold out.
As a build-up to her show, she also scouted for UK dancers a few days before the show. The auditions were held at Husky Studios, 29A Amelia S (off Walworth Road) in London.
Born Lungelihle Zwane 23 years ago, the Eswatini-born DJ and record producer, based in South Africa, is also set to perform at the UnitedMasters Grammy Weekend Concert alongside Davido and Tokischa on February 2, 2024. The concert will take place at the Hollywood Palladium on the first Friday of February. The UnitedMasters music platform will again kick off the Grammy weekend with the trio of Nigerian-American artist Davido, Dominican rapper Tokischa, and our very own Uncle Waffles.
According to one of her pages last month alone, Waffles has been recognised by Rolling Stones, Forbes, CNN Variety, The New York Times, and Complex UK for her insane accomplishments throughout 2023, spanning from Solace and Asylum Extended Playlist EP releases, Coachella performances, and sold-out shows in New York.
She is noted for her work in the Amapiano genre and dance abilities, with Billboard describing her as the Princess of Amapiano. Waffles debut single, titled Tanzania, reached number one and went platinum in South Africa. She has gained the attention of some of the world’s biggest names, including Canadian rapper Drake. The world got to know about DJ after Drake shared a photo of her and sent a shout-out to her.
