Amapiano DJ Uncle Waffles is social media’s latest victim of cyberbullying.
Tweeps have labelled her a transgender woman due to the size of her breasts and a picture she posted on Instagram of herself posing with her dancers at Cotton Fest.
The rumours saw Uncle Waffles trend on Twitter with fans coming from all sides to defend her.

After the commotion, the star took to her timeline to set the record straight.
In a thread she wrote: “Real question. What do these picture prove? Instead you’re trying to bring down people who have nothing to do with this.
“I now have to prove my gender based off of my physique and based off of a rumour? You guys are so weird.”

Waffles told tweeps that she has always been an “ally of the trans community”.
“You can’t always have something to say. I’m a proud ally of the trans community, always have been. Yall, without fail will always have something to say.”
