Uncle Waffles Claps Back at Weight and Gender Rumours

SOUTH AFRICA —

DJ Uncle Waffles has publicly slammed rumours about her weight loss and transgender identity. The Tanzania-born star responded in a TikTok video after a blogger’s US festival clip sparked fresh social media speculation (blogger post).

She shared the video captioned: “#stitch with @Penelope_ubisi It’s so odd lol. Let a ho live, eh (I’m not sick, my weight is literally none of your business, even tho that may be shocking to a dumb f).” (direct quote).

Waffles blamed her weight change on a demanding schedule: “People assume… you have to get 8 hours of sleep… I’m in a place… comfortable with my weight” (TikTok statement). She noted critics only see her online: “You actually don’t know me… That’s a parasocial experience.”

The musician dismissed appearance-focused commentary, recalling past insults: “Even when you guys were calling me fat last year… I was actually OK with myself.”

The post also addressed historical transgender rumours (social media speculation), though specific responses weren’t detailed in the available clip (input unverified).

Waffles ended by rejecting scrutiny: “I haven’t lost too much weight. You actually don’t know me.” (exact quote).
