Beyoncé plays Uncle Waffles song during Renaissance World Tour
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
"I'm crying now" - Uncle Waffles can't contain her excitement after hearing 'Tanzania' being played at a Beyoncé concert.
South African-based DJ Uncle Waffles is getting a seal of approval from yet another A-list star.
The Amapiano DJ, whose real name is Lungelihle Zwane, is overjoyed after learning that Beyoncé included one of her songs during her 'Renaissance World Tour'.
The Grammy Award-winning singer kicked off her tour in Stockholm, Sweden, this week, and clips from her first show have found their way online.
One clip showed Beyoncé's dancers performing to 'Tanzania' during a dance break/transition. Uncle Waffles released the amapiano track last year.
"I’m crying wow," Uncle Waffles commented on the clip.

While Beyoncé did not perform during the song, she obviously approved the show's various playlists.
Twitter users are thrilled that Queen B co-signed the track to appear on the world stage.
"Unclewaffles got the Beyoncé co sigh??? Uh she’s bigger than South African as a whole right now ngl," one Twitter user wrote.
Another user added: "Beyoncé the celebrity of celebrities giving props to Uncle Waffles, I know she is attending the next Roc Nation Brunch .... She is the biggest thing in Mzansi right now."

Uncle Waffles is not the only local star whose music was heard during the show.
The 'Halo' hitmaker performed her hit single, 'My Power'. Local stars Moonchild Sanelly and Busiswa featured on the track alongside Tierra Whack, Nija, DJ Lag, and Yemi Alade.
Some social media users are hopeful that Beyoncé will bring out Moonchild Sanelly and Busiswa during one of her future shows.
But for now, Busiswa has confirmed that she is in SA. "I’m in Joburg like a simp, damn!" she replied when one fan asked if she would be joining Queen B onstage.
