The trend of female DJs putting on a show was arguably started by Uncle Waffles. Ever since the video dancing to Adiwele put her on the map, more female DJs have resorted to turning their sets into a full-on show by adding choreography and having back-up dancers.

What many people have noticed is that the male DJs still stick to the traditional way of DJing, which has less theatrics.

"DJ Ayanda is showcasing her dance moves during her set on YFM."

Reacting to the video, the Kaya 959 DJ laughed and looked back at how the game has changed.

"Ey, the game is really something else now, hey? Lol!" exclaimed.

Complaints about female DJs

In 2021, rapper AKA also got dragged for sharing some salty sentiments about female DJs. Talking to X, he said almost every female wanted to be a rapper, but now they all want to be DJs.

"Not so long ago, every second hun was a rapper. Now everyone's a DJ."

Durban DJ and music producer DJ Kotini said the trend of booking influencers to play during sets and not actual DJs is putting a strain on their mental health.

"They prefer half-na*ed girls who call themselves DJs over us. This is really frustrating because we put hard work into this, yet we are overlooked. If we are not getting any bookings because of talentless people, then we are doomed."

Mzansi has its say:

@NtateWilliams joked:

"We're not winning Lotto Jackpot anytime soon with their behind on our faces daily."

@Itgirl_lit defended her:

"Because the game is changing, the DJ industry will quickly be dominated by women because crowds would want to see them dance and care less about the art of mixing songs. Oh abafazi phambili. Uncle waffles jou lekker ding."

@Nina_Fox_ exclaimed:

"I am so tired! The real DJs are DBN Gogo and Waffles because those girls actually play. And yeah, Waffles wasn't the best at first, but she has massively improved her art."

@SdizoRSA cried:

"They sleep with promoters and radio producers for such slots."

@SeegeLFC responded:

"The game isn’t the same anymore, especially with female DJs, it’s more about showing their bodies than the actual music."
