RIKY RICK JUST APPRECIATING UNCLE WAFFLES!
RAPPER Riky Rick tore social media users into half on over the weekend, after a debate about him broke out.
Riky posted a video of himself and rising DJ, Uncle Waffles dancing on Instagram and it was taken to Twitter where people accused him of riding on Waffles’ wave as she is the hottest DJ in the country at the moment.
Tweeps accused Riky of using Waffles to stay relevant.
However, some people stood up for him, saying he has played a huge role in helping rising stars in the music industry and could be helping Waffles.
They also said Riky doesn’t need people to stay relevant and Waffles was the one benefitting from chilling with Riky.
The rapper was also accused of deserting Uncle Vinny, whom he introduced to the entertainment industry. This as Vinny is now always seen with Major League DJz.
Uncle Waffles broke the internet last week when a video of her DJing reached millions of views in a few hours, getting her a follow from international rapper, Drake.

“One thing about Riky is that he’ll get close to every hot young star to stay relevant,” wrote Dolls.
“Ahh what’s a trend without Riky… homie had to hop onto that Waffles wave,” wrote Milly.
Another user, The Magnum Opus stood up for Riky and said: “Yall gotta be really stupid if you of the belief that Riky replaced Uncle Vinny with Uncle Waffles. Riky had been saying we gotta listen to the kids like Ye says! And Riky is actually doing it, the likes of Lucasraps, VenusRaps, Uncle Vinny, Uncle Waffle, Costa etc. He’s the Uncle.”
“Riky always been plugged in. He’s been working with Kreative Korner who now manages Uncle Waffles. He’s been ahead, you’re just catching up,” wrote Spades DJ.
Riky told Daily Sun that the backlash on social media didn’t bother him.
“I didn’t feel any backlash because I’m not even into social media like that. My track record speaks for itself, I support upcoming artists. I’ve got a lot of videos with rising musicians, I’ve got a video with Mpura Mpura, Young Stunna and others. Everyone is the same, we show love and give love as much as we can. We also try to show appreciation for people who come up in the game,” he said.
