This title tattle has left many wondering if indeed she was a transgender female; especially after her trolls came through with “convincing” evidence from her gallery.

These theories together with some of her pictures do really have that kind of sales pitch, don’t they?

Let’s take a look at some of the comments on social media:

“😤im kinda confused now 🙌🤧Maybe by calling herself UNCLE WAFFLES he was telling us something but we decide to be blinded by her looks 😭and your boyfriends are crushing on him #unclewaffles” – @Naledi78114830 said.

Some are still wondering if this isn’t one of the usual smear campaigns against someone finally testing success in their lives – typical isn’t it?

For someone doing big and going places at her age, having trolls and haters seems like a normal thing.

But even after all the back and forth attacks on social media, the question about her s.e.xuality still stands.

Is Uncle Waffles transgender?

Well, while many are still puzzled by these allegations and trying to figure out the truth from all the conspiracies spiralled by unconfirmed sources, the publication has come up with a biography of the darling entertainer in order to answer the million-dollar question.
