Copying Uncle Waffles?
Some fans even accused the DJ of copying the fashion style of Uncle Waffles, who usually wears tops like the ones seen in the video.
Uncle Waffles is known for her fashion style, which many complemented when she was at the Jacquemus Paris Fashion Week.
One X user named ChrisExcel wrote: “Peer pressure of being Uncle Waffles at the age of 43 is insane”
Fans replied to this tweet as many agreed with the X user:
@ramsy_sa: Even all female DJs imitate Uncle Waffles on the desk
@UndyingAttack1: What is she doing exactly!
However, some users sided with the DJ:
@NeoMohapi: “Yoh! People HATE IT so much when people are happy! When people are at their most happiest [sic], some try their hardest to drag them through the mud.”
DJ Zinhle not showing class
Along with being slammed over allegations of copying Uncle Waffles, DJ Zinhle was also criticised because of her dancing in this outfit.
Under the original tweet, where DJ Zinhle is seen dancing, fans commented on her clothes, and some claimed she lacked class.
@ZuluSweG: “This lady used to be so classy I don’t know what got into her to end up turning out like this”
@SbusisoRZA: “DJ Zinhle is a prominent female DJ – why is she not using her music talent to stay relevant and trend? Her dancing half naked is cringeworthy,worse part she is a mother to Kairo who’s about to enter her adolescent stage. What is she teaching her daughter?”
@Ndaba_2025: “She needs to wear more clothes..!!”
Fans under the original tweet were divided as well as they debated on the DJ’s look. Not all tweets were that of criticism, as some praised the DJ.
@SalimoAnne: “Beautiful”
@gamerxreakon: “She can dance all day long”
@tshavhuyo14: “Beautiful and rich she can do what she wants”
This isn’t the first time DJ Zinhle is criticised
This criticism of DJ Zinhle’s look has happened before during last year. She was once judged for going braless, and she faced a lot of backlash.
The DJ also got people talking when she admitted that she had a boob job.
She isn’t the only one being criticised for her looks. Uncle Waffles was also slammed for her outfit when she met Prince William last year.
Despite all this criticism, some fans are standing firm behind the saying that women are free to decide what to do with their bodies.
