The Eswatini-born star received many congratulatory messages from her fans and peers in the industry.

Fellow deejay Black Coffee, who is set to entertain the masses at the Madison Square Garden in New York on 7 October, gave the deejay a round of applause.

While a fan commented, “The Waffles brand is an absolute phenomenon, man — the amount of success and growth it has reached in such a short space of time? It’s astonishing, and yet a marvel to witness!
