Tweeps believe Uncle Waffles is a gone girl after Beyoncé gave her a co-sign. 

The music DJ finds herself being talk of the social media streets after Queen B danced to her popular track Tanzania on the viral clip. 

Waffles also got a co-sign from Drake, Ciara and has graced Coachella and the Met Gala. 

After her debut at Coachella, Lady Du headed to Instagram and lauded Uncle Waffles.

She recalled how she reached out to Waffles when she was still new to the scene.

“To Uncle Waffles I remember sitting down with you for a conversation after you trended and said the sky is the limit. You’ve done nothing but chase it. I would like to take my hat off for you and congratulate you from the purest place of my heart. You have made us proud. you are a true example of dreams come true and a key to a lot of doors! We are proud as South Africa and wish you more wealth, good health and a lot of protection. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing our music,” she said.

Waffles is not a newbie to the trends list.

The amapiano sensation recently shot up the list when she shared a video of her doing her viral Yahyuppiyah challenge with American singer Ciara. 

Ciara also shared a snippet of her performance on her Instagram stories, gushing over the musician.

“I just love Uncle Waffles. She's everything.”

American singer Omarion lauded Uncle Waffles for delivering an amazing performance when attending one of her gigs.

“You [are] something special. Congratulations. I had a blast,” he wrote.
