The narrative at the time that was being pushed was that Waffles is being exploited by her management. Waffles went on to defend her team on Twitter, calling them the biggest blessing to her career.
“I’d just like to say, my team is the biggest blessing in my life when it comes to my career. They go above and beyond for me, the narrative that’s being shared is so disheartening.
“They have never made me feel uncomfortable or treated me inappropriately.”
Kaybee in his tweet gave credit to the “men” on Waffles’ team for curating a successful career for the artist.
“What a successful career these men have curated,” he added.
