It comes as no surprise that top brands, including KFC, want to collaborate with her. The recent launch of the Tanzania hitmaker's new campaign dubbed Hack the Streets has caused a buzz on social media.

In a statement shared with Briefly News, Uncle Waffles expressed her excitement about the Hack the Streets campaign. She said:

"Being able to show fans my journey in music and life is both extraordinary and humbling. Watch for the clues, visit the landmarks, find the scannable QR codes, get the UW Burger to secure the bag, and maybe even win an exclusive Uncle Waffles experience with KFC or some limited KFC x Uncle Waffles merch. Find it. Scan it. Shop it. Share it."

Unfortunately, social media users have shared negative comments about Hack the Streets. Those who have tried the burger said it's not giving what it's supposed to. Others vowed never to support the star because she claimed she was from Swaziland on her BET nomination.

"If we are being honest and not biased, this KFC Uncle Waffles burger must be sold in Eswatini only. More especially for someone who doesn’t identify as a South African."

@Rrmagoo added:

"Take it to Swaziland, we don't need it."

@Valazat said:

"They should remove it from the menu. Unnecessarily overhyped."
