Here’s what some users had to say: @ramsy_sa: “Even all female DJs imitate Uncle Waffles on the decks 😂😂” @Lani_SA1011: “She might not play Piano, but she’s definitely copying the bold fashion choices of Amapiano female DJs.” @itumeleng_Seff: “I agree with you😭 She’s already proven she’s a great DJ. Maybe a more refined aesthetic would suit her now.” @NeoMohapi: “Yoh! People really hate seeing others happy. Let her live her life.” @chapeesh: “She is respected as an artist and entrepreneur; she has nothing to prove to anyone, but here she is, half-dressed. Why though?” @DenisTlhabi: “She paved the way for artists like Uncle Waffles. It’s unfair to say she’s under peer pressure. She’s simply showing that women can still look great after motherhood.” @Black_slim1: “I’m embarrassed on her behalf 😩” Nadia Nakai Also Faces Backlash for Bold Fashion In a related story, Briefly News reported that fellow musician Nadia Nakai also faced online criticism for wearing a revealing outfit while promoting her album Braggacy.
