Social media is ablaze with allegations against DJ Uncle Waffles, who has been accused of taking advantage of emerging artist OHP SAGE by using his vocals on her latest record without offering him sufficient support for gigs. According to the claims, Uncle Waffles has been performing the track at top events in places like Ibiza, while SAGE is left hustling for small gigs in township venues.
The situation has led to a divided response online. Some fans expressed disappointment, arguing that Uncle Waffles should have done more to uplift SAGE, given her platform and influence. Others voiced frustration with her response to the allegations, perceiving her tone as dismissive and pointing out that her success was largely boosted by social media, the same platform now voicing these criticisms.
The incident has raised broader discussions about fairness and accountability in the industry, with many urging well-established artists to give due credit and opportunities to rising talents.
