But he’s just pronounced ‘Waft’ as ‘wa-ft’ three times in a row.

It’s ’wa-fting’ over.

I don't get it. I've heard wafting and wofting but not sure what wa-ft means or how it should be pronounced correctly 🤔.

Waft is ‘the smooth movement or sounds, smells etc.’ Pronounced wo-ft.

There typically isn’t a universal pronunciation of something across all accents and dialects.
Hope that helps.

I agree. I'd say waft, not woft.

It depends whether you consider something's being pronounced wrongly or if it's due to regional variations.

Was it more like ‘war-ft’ ?

Please clarify OP, your effort at phonetics is no good.

Had to Google him. Recognise the face. Never knew his name.
