Uncle Waffles, a musician from Swaziland, was defeated by Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy for
the 2023 BET Best International Act title. Uncle Waffles was disappointed by the outcome because he
had been nominated for the prize and was seen to be a strong contender.

In order to validate her talent and dedication, Uncle Waffles’ supporters wanted her to win the prize.
Burna Boy, who became the first musician to win the prize four years in a row, emerged as the victor,
nonetheless.

Social media has been used by Uncle Waffles’ supporters to voice their disappointment over the
outcome, with many saying that the artist deserved the honour. Others have noted that Burna Boy’s
victory demonstrates the Afrobeats genre’s ongoing influence on the world of music.

Uncle Waffles continues to play a significant role in South African music. Other South African musicians
now have more opportunities to be seen on a worldwide scale thanks to her nomination for the BET
Best International Act award.
