Other social media users could not help but gush at Waffles' costume.

mr.soc gushed:

"Josephine Baker continues to shine!"

jose said:

"Ms Josephine, the original Queen."

loveaeysa replied:

"Waffles as Beyoncé as Josephine Baker."

Kamodancesforyou exclaimed:

"Yoh, Waffla. Your love got me looking so crazy right now!"

shes_zi stated:

"I really need Waffle and Beyonce to collaborate. That would be iconic as hell!"

Some Americans took offence to the costume's inspiration:

Jasiramonique stated:

"I’m glad that everyone commented quickly, Josephine Baker already."

yourfav__salad defended Waffles:

"Ya'll acting like we don’t know. The costume is about the tribute that Beyonce did, y'all just haters, cause what?"

me.hlukoradebe stated:

"That's the problem, Waffles chose Beyoncé as her reference, not that woman they mention. They gotta accept it honestly."

Sheila argued:

"But, Beyonce did not start this."

genanarie20 also defended:

"She’s clearly paying tribute to Beyoncé’s DEJA VU performance, who is a reference to Josephine Baker. Josephine didn’t wear her hair like that, nor was her stance like that. Put your thinking caps on."

Uncle Waffles addresses weight loss claims

In a previous report from Briefly News, Uncle Waffles responded to the nasty messages about her weight loss. She finally addressed this on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, in a TikTok video. In the video, she said:

“#stitch with @Penelope_ubisi It’s so odd lol. Let a ho live, eh (I’m not sick, my weight is literally none of your business, even tho that may be shocking to a dumb f)”

She also addressed the nasty comments about her being trans. Waffles explained that she does not want the people around her to continue catching a lot of hate.

“The trans conversation started off based on a Facebook post that someone made about me and Uncle Vinny, saying that I was Uncle Vinny's brother and that I was jealous. I decided to transition for more attention, right?” Uncle Waffles said.
