MBABANE – SOLD OUT!
Uncle Waffle’s massive success has seen her show dubbed ‘We ‘Love Waffles London sell out.
The excited DJ shared the news on her social media platforms yesterday, captioned “We did it, yall.” By the time of compiling this report, the post had been viewed 8300 times.
The show is scheduled for Saturday in London, United Kingdom. The DJ, who boasts 2.3 million followers on Instagram, announced how excited she was about the show on her Instagram story line a few weeks ago. 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.”
What is worth mentioning is that Uncle Waffles put out a notice on her Instagram page last Thursday looking for UK dancers for part of the upcoming show on Saturday. 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, announced on her Instagram page last Friday that she is 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.
