Uncle Waffles has no problem clapping back at criticism

After being accused of faking her bad girl aesthetic, Waffles clapped back at a fan with a sharp response that quickly went viral.

The DJ updated her social media gallery with new pictures on 12 February 2026. Keeping to her edgy, eclectic style, Waffles wore tight-fitting, cut-out leather pants with a crop-top and platinum blonde hair. However, X (Twitter) user Anunakin claimed that this wasn't who she is.

"I don’t have the right words for it, but this isn’t you. You’re clearly a good girl. I don’t know why they have you pushing this aesthetic."

According to the user, Waffles is simply a "good girl" at heart whose edgy new image is a forced industry stunt rather than her real personality, reducing her provocative, fashion-forward style to a mere marketing strategy. Waffles fired back with a response that was as sharp as her eyeliner.
