Amapiano star Uncle Waffles has come out defending herself following the recent rumours that have been circulating, stating that she was exploiting other talents in the music industry.�

The social media website X (formerly known as Twitter) has become a battle ground for the Swazi DJ and producer Lungelihle Zwane, this comes after a fellow artist known as PCee, accused the amapiano genre being one that has been at the heart of creative exploitation.�

In an Instagram live chat, PCee took to the platform highlighting that he had been a part producing many of the country’s biggest hits, but to this day, has not been compensated with a single cent.�

While he did not disclose some of the names of those involved in the alleged exploitation, many social media users later connected the dots as pointed fingers to Waffles.�

“Who is he talking about Uncle Waffles or Porry (short for Maphorisa)”.�

Another user wrote: “I think he’s talking about Waffles”.�

Meanwhile, a post shared by the X account Piano Connect alleges that Uncle Waffles has since responded by addressing the matter.�

In the post, the prominent DJ could be seen denying that she was a gatekeeper for upcoming talent as she revealed that she was just an artist herself.�

“He is signed to an entire record label, has an international distributor, management and you are all blaming me? The independent artist?” she asked.�

Meanwhile there are some who feel that his PCee’s rant lacked context, also adding that artists tend to whine about exploitation on when struggling, not when successful.�
