Why Mzansi says this about Tyla and Uncle Waffles

Amid Tyla's reigning success following the success of Water, many people are trying to figure out which other local or African celebrity has ever achieved this.

Tyla released her debut album Tyla which is dominating the charts. She was then under many international celebrities' radar.

The same can be said about Uncle Waffles, who also enjoyed the attention of international celebrities before becoming overshadowed by Tyla.

Many fans think Uncle Waffles could have been bigger, or better yet, her name would still be dominating headlines.
