Just to much talking

First, throw the gum away. Second too much lip filler. Thirdly we have always liked DDG x Halle.❤

I remember watching her interview Khanyi Mbau and crying over the fact that she's having it difficult in the industry coz she's light-skinned, Khanyi was confused af coz Khanyi saw Pearls' skin shade as goals. I was rolling my eyes when she sobbed. Acting wise, I watched Queen Sono and I understand why they cancelled it babe...it took me weeks to finish that series. She's a decent actress, nothing outstanding about her acting but I think she's a great presenter, obviously Bonang is untouchable in that area but Pearl can hold her own in presenting...oh and by the way, I'm a light-skinned Zulu woman

Whatever they pick her for her light skin. It is not the only reason. But its leading to get her in the door and keep giving her opportunities.

This is an interesting approach. I like it.🥹

She's not South African???? Please forgive me as I am American so I don't know much about the different countries/cultures/tribes but she looks like a Zulu woman to me? She's not??

South african culture nonsense

Tyler never said she must be on Amapiano category but she said she represents Amapiano as a South African and that's not a culture. Tyler is a pure South African weather you love that or not ,is not like we praising her but shes one of our own period.

Pap duk pap en vleis is eaten by all in Joburg for your information…… Tyla not from Cape Town …here we eat maize meal only if boiled in hot water..

We in Cape Town not eat pap en vleis…..

Rihanna is a quarter Irish though? I understand all your points, but Rihanna & Tyla are both mixed women, not black.

One of our gossip channels found a video of Diddys Instagram live inviting black coffee to his party. And he was flirtatious as hell.

Tyla does a better job at putting Amapiano on the map more than you ever will. Thanks to her things are moving forward for the genre. All you're doing is yapping your gums and not making moves. You got the nerve to open your mouth and talk bad about her. Bunch of lazy good for nothing haters.

Thank you for this video, the last part confirmed why I struggled to like Tyla. She will never have Sho's intelligence. That tokenism she is riding on doesn't seem to be working, only on those who aren't sharp.

Hollywood is truly a curse 😢

Hey babes just found you, Hollywood is possessed am glad Tyla kept her distance from that Usher... It's full of demons

So glad to hear you speaking the truth. Much love to SA! As African Americans we had our own colored class in New Orleans called the Creole ppl (who were mixed race). They turned their backs and acted superior to blacks facing violence and oppression in Louisiana. Until racist politicians decided to pass a law stating one drop of black blood in your ancestry makes you black (as if it’s a contaminate to your gene pool) which newly classified Creole ppl as black as well. Then suddenly they wanted to cozy up to us. BOMBASTIC SIDE EYE! So when we see Tyla be marketed as a black woman to us as black Americans yet she claims she’s not EVEN black we immediately are triggered and draw a line in the sand. We already know what time it is.

Finally a SAn is saying what is dam obvious... She has been used by western cooperation to misappropriate Afrobeats/Amapiano....she won an Afrobeat Award and all she could say is that it was bitter sweet...

I agree. South Africans are xenophobic. My thing is that we should be just as angry at these European aliens

That tidbit about wether or not Tyla was dating that guy who discovered( the same guy who discovered/dated Sho Madjozi) was proven to be false. Tyla never had a relationship with that guy. He discovered Tyla at 15 by the way.

Song please?

I'm a black Southie but amapiano is not my culture I'm sorry. Tyla probably grew up dancing and singing, and happened to like amapiano then that's what she identifies with. Our culture now is infused with other races and I think that's progressive. Leave Tyla to use what is made in her country in whatever way she wants, just along as she's respectful to herself and her fellow musicians.

Sesi I agreed with you until you started saying Tyla doesn't do Amapiano. Yes she might be a culture vulture but she's still representing the sound. And yes the Amapiano sound was never a coloured sound but please appreciate the fact that she's at least putting the genre on the map. Great video sesi I loved it 💕🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thank you for telling us the real truth. Love from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤

Uncle waffles and TxC are another culture vultures too . Waffles is Swati and never claims to be SA'n when she gets accolades there. But she's called princess of Amapiano.

😂yhooooo it's not her culture😢😂 SA people can be messy... Lol I haven't forgiven her for supporting chidima.... Americans and Nigerians must grille her

Disrespectful Model C accent.Tyla should take you to task.... disgraceful racism!

What happens to Rambo Nation????

She was saying her culture in broader sense. She was authentic when she said she was classified as coloured in South Africa and she knows in America is a slur word. Was she supposed to lie to the Americans that she is black in this country. To be a coloured is not a slur here. In America if you are not white you are black, mixed race or not. She is black in their context. She is also right in saying amapiano is her culture. Are you trying to say in South Africa we have different amapiano music according to our ethnicity, then you are wrong. We have one amapiano music and is South African genre as we had kwaeto music for South Africa, is all South African music. Tyla represent us and our culture globally and we should all be proud of that and support her. We cannot be her hater too. We must avoid apartheid mentality.😊

Yazi, I hear you. But Tyla shem has never said she came up with amapiano and the dances, she appropriately placed it to who it belongs to which is how SAns are generally🤔, we enjoy each other's culture with the knowledge that it belongs to that certain cultural group. Also there's nothing wrong with a musical genre maturing/altered a bit because its done to appeal to a certain demographic: e.g. Nigerians take on the amapiano beat is faster than we normally enjoy in South Africa. Also like, Reggae, it has transformed to appeal to other people or just assimilated with sounds of the nations that listen to it, the original sound of reggae hearing it in bob marley or lucky dubes songs is far different from what sean paul and more later reggae artists. Also being coloured in south africa is also incredibly diverse within. Tyla specifically said she's mixed with zulu, white, and Indian🤔 on top of that she's a coloured who grew up in the city of jhb, her "culture" would be influenced by that environment. Unless you are saying there's a specific coloured culture she should show? If that's the case what is it? I'm curious to know how the jhb coloureds are culturally. Coz I'm aware of the culture of cape coloureds, cape malayas etc... But I'm not familiar with coloureds in jhb. Don't a lot south africans eat pap kanti? I mean even Afrikaans people eat it nje. 😂 Lol hayi ke nyani, there are some racist coloured people shem and they don't even know why🤦🏾‍♀️but it doesn't mean she is kodwa sisi. And I won't lie it was the first time seeing a coloured person with her hair type with braids lol its usually the coloureds who have more of a black persons hair texture like Trevor noah. Sizobona yazi 🤷🏾‍♀️lol maybe she is still going to show more of cultures of South Africa or show us more of coloured culture. OR she may prove you right in the long run.😅 Interesting point of view kodwa Pinky, especially the sho majozi link,it was news to me.

Only time will tell 😂.

I agree with you getting late is ama piano song but.... the rest it's giving yon i Afrobeat 😅😅 you making sense gll it's true 🤞

Oh go away! Jealous Much?!? Who even are you?

We coloureds descendents of slaves are not even Africans. Tyla make a mistake by saying she represent amapian. Amapiano does not come from coloureds. Tyla must fokus on us coloureds

Tyla did said its her own spin on amapiano #popiano your a hater!!!!

Finally South Africans are waking up!!! ⏰ she's stealing and riding the wave of black culture and South Africans zithule duuuu

Yk I’m so glad to see a black south African’s pov as an African American and ppl be saying we’re jealous nahh

South Africans who you really like???????

i feel like you are being cynical with regard to tyla's intentions. the way i saw the whole thing go down tyla clarified that she was coloured not because of any shade to black south africans but specifically out of respect for the distinction and the difference in struggle that black sacans faced compared to coloured. she didnt pretend to be black for profit in america she was literally bullied into claiming blackness in america because they were calling her a coon for wanting to respect the identitys of black south africans. On the culture vulture allegations i think jozi coloured and eastern cape coloureds would fight you on that amapiano cant be coloured culture too. Tyla makes afro pop mixing piano with rnb and pop sounds. Tyla is also part zuluand you know how zulu's are about maintaing cultural connection even if you are mixed. This is all over the place but i just think these allegations are a bit harsh and cynical and i think Tyla deserves just a little bit of grace as would any person introduced to such an intense environment

Our hiphop artist say they represent the hiphop culture, why can't tyla say she represents the amapiano culture??

OMG! thank you so much for this! i am not south african i am ghanian- american & lived in pretoria, SA as an expat for 3 years. have witnessed and experienced the racial dynamics of SA and i have been trying to tell people exactly this ever since the "is tyla black" controversy, and i would tell people hat my issue with tyla was never that she identify as colored; i don't deny that nor do i want her to claim black because i agree that she is colored/mixed race. My issue with her is why is her ENTIRE image is based on native south african culture(s) as in the culture of the BLACK people of south africa? why does she not incorporate other aspects of her identity, like her indian heritage, into her imagery? She's not fooling me, especially because i too have experienced anti-blackness, colorism, racism, and xenophobia from white, colored, and indian south africans which was funny because i was not an immigrant to SA i was living there because my dad was doing business over there lol. anyway I love south africa it's a BEAUTIFUL country, especially cape town, and i really hope the the natives wake up from the fake unity and inclusion trance that they've been brainwashed to believe exists or should exist and rightfully take full control of their' country. much love to you and i applaud you for standing up for your country, your culture and your people!!! south africa is for south africans... the REAL south africans!!

This is an interesting take. Her country has a culture. I don’t know much of Tyla before her rise in the States, but if she was not part of this culture somehow before making music, I can see your point. So far, it doesn’t seem like a front.

She said she represents Amapiano - as a music genre, and she represents her culture i.e being a coloured South African.

So the Black south africans that are defending this girl, are they bots or just lost? Because I know real south Africans don't care about that girl

In America she is not considered Black. She is considered OTHER or Biracial. Definitely NOT BLACK.... ESPECIALLY since when she came here she wouldn't really acknowledge her blackness. So she is seen as a CULTURE VULTURE here also.

Undi-wish(ele) i-birthday kwiTaima leto🎉🎉

Okuchuku....😂😂😂😂

The problem with Africans is you want to gate keep things that shouldn't be gate kept. . .if Amapiano is to grow we need have the sound being adopted by everyone, why is it important that it's not a South African producer, just be happy for the girl man, she is 22 years old and got a Grammy, just be happy for her. . .did she choose to be colored and who makes the rules of what you are saying only black and only south africans should make amapiano, relax and enjoy good music. . .be happy for one of us's success damn. . .definitely not subbing to a hate video, l hope when your hate sentiment changes YT can recommend your video and l will follow. . .

Spelt her name wrong

Wow kodwa South Africans do not support each other and you wonder why we do not succeed. Stop being haters hle and be happy for one of your own
