Beyoncé’s concert gave Mzansi-loved DJ Uncle Waffles a musical shout-out and South Africans couldn’t be more thrilled!

 

Global (13 May, 2023)—Just as South Africans were coming down from the thrill of locally-loved musicians, Kyle Watson and Uncle Waffles playing at Coachella, Beyoncé joined the conversation; sharing support for a local track.

Queen Bey’s highly-anticipated Renaissance Tour gave a nod to Uncle Waffles (Lungelihle Zwane) herself, as clips emerged of Beyoncé’s dancers jamming to Waffle’s song ‘Tanzania’.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour has just begun its world domination, with the Tanzania-appreciating clips shared from a Stockholm Show.

Uncle Waffles shared one of the clips, captioned ‘I’m crying wow’.

South Africans and Waffles’ fans reacted iconically, sharing that we are all crying in appreciation of the moment together. From Eswatini to shining at a Beyoncé concert? Uncle Waffles is definitely dazzling moment after moment.

Earning a co-sign (musical shout-out) from the likes of a Beyoncé concert is no spare change of a moment, but it’s also not Uncle Waffles’ first. The artist has also received a co-sign from Drake before.

This is only the latest notch on the Amapiano princess’ belt, with her recent performance at Coachella marking another huge career highlight.

Meanwhile, South African DJ Kyle Watson has also been making epic and celebrated moves that South Africans can’t get enough of. Recently, Kyle sat down with Good Things Guy to share his Coachella Experience with us.

Warning: You will be inspired!

Not to mention, other South Africans have also continued to own the global stage through music. From Pretty Yende who stole the show at King Charles III’s Coronation with her vocal magic to conduct Ofentse Pitse who took South Africa to Bridgerton and led an Alicia Keys’ classic.
