“This was something I have been looking forward to for a while, but from sound issues even before my performance to my team being mishandled, this wasn’t something I expected at all.”

“The safety and wellbeing of people who come out to support me and this genre is my top priority,” she asserted.

In her closing remarks, Uncle Waffles extended a message of hope to her Kenyan fans. “Kenya, I hope to see you again soon with a much better outcome; I love you guys.”
