It's always refreshing to see African artists and celebrities getting along well, and the Amapiano princess, Uncle Waffles, and Grammy-winning singer Tyla, are a prime example, as they were recently spotted hanging out together.

An online user @Tyla_Tygrs posted a video on Monday, 14 July 2025, of the two superstars enjoying themselves while dancing to Uncle Waffles' hit song, Peacock Revisit. In the clip, both stars are seen with their dancers at an unknown club or event.

It's no secret that Tyla remains Mzansi's top star, but at one stage, Uncle Waffles was held in the same regard as the Water hitmaker. However, her superstardom was said to have diminished, thanks to Tyla.

Why Mzansi compared Tyla and Uncle Waffles in the past

Meanwhile, Tyla's ongoing success following the release of her hit song, Water, in July 2023, has had many wondering which other local or African celebrity has ever achieved such heights.

Tyla launched her debut album, Tyla, which was previously dominating the charts. She then caught the attention of many international celebrities.

The same can be said for Uncle Waffles, who also attracted the interest of international stars before being overshadowed by Tyla. Many fans believed that the Swazi-born star, Uncle Waffles, could have reached greater heights, or that her name might still be making headlines.
