Uncle Waffles takes legal action against podcaster Thakgi over explosive claims on podcast

Posted on March 24, 2026

Uncle Waffles has reportedly taken a firm stand against controversial podcaster Thakgi, escalating a heated dispute into a legal battle that’s now gripping the music scene.

The amapiano star is said to have initiated legal proceedings after Thakgi made a series of bold remarks during a recent episode of the Music Pulse podcast.

The comments, which quickly made rounds online, allegedly touched on sensitive topics including the DJ’s earnings and financial dealings, claims that have since sparked backlash among fans and industry insiders.

Sources suggest the situation intensified after legal papers were served, catching the podcaster off guard and transforming what began as on-air commentary into a serious courtroom matter.

While neither party has publicly detailed the full scope of the case, the move signals a clear intention from Uncle Waffles to challenge the statements head-on, especially as conversations around artist earnings and transparency continue to stir debate within the industry.
