Updated | By Stacey and J Sbu
This is one lady you should not be sleeping on!
Unless you have been living under a rock, taken a social media break or just don't use the internet, then you probably know what we mean when we say: "people are burning."

This is Uncle Waffles and this very tweet that she sent out just last week has already racked up almost four-million views.
Not only has she captured everyone's attention with her amazing DJing skills, but she also knows how to keep the crowd entertained with her next-level dance moves.
And just like that, Uncle Waffles has become the hottest thing on the internet, catapulting her into viral fame.
Now it's time to get to know the woman behind the decks a little better:
1. She's originally from Eswatini
She didn't have the easiest upbringing and was raised by her grandmother. The DJ never knew her parents and only much later was able to reconcile with her mother.
She has since moved to South Africa and is now based here.
2. Her real name is Lungelihle Zwane
Contrary to popular belief, Uncle Waffles is not what is written on her birth certificate. She is also only 21-years-old.
We got on the plane, the guy in the aisle in front of us opens the paper and there’s a full page about me. A WHOLE FULL PAGE ABOUT ME. I’m shaking. We definitely scrome🥺

3. She was a presenter on 'Studio1'
She hosted the Swaziland music and entertainment show alongside Siybonga Nsibande and DJ Stunner.
4. She is a cover girl
She was lucky enough to score a major modelling gig and graced the cover of Swazi Bride Magazine in 2018.
5. Drake follows her
As it turns out, we aren't the only ones obsessed with Uncle Waffles, who has only been DJing for one year.
The one and only Champagne Papi is just as into it as well:
