She’s a kid no shi

[@mpumzipike4637]

Tyla is a real one for mentioning liquideep and micasa, those guys gave us some hits

[@dwainramiah3025]

for sure i was thinking the same🎉🎉

[@JuneBee9606]

[@maggiekalembo4158]

And the 'gha gha gha' 🤣, also the yohhhhh, always needs a one clap 😂😂 I love it man

[@warrenamos7178]

They dont get it lol

[@thandekakhwezykhwezy]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@animenerd1875]

I was looking for this comment 😂❤

[@RuanAntunes7]

Only other South Africans will pick up on that.

[@Tedical]

Amapiano is too global now. Tyla's mix of the genre with Pop is more than amazing and welcomed under the Amapiano umbrella 🏖️ She stays authentic and representing of our country and culture 🇿🇦❤️

[@charmainengwenya5335]

[@sugarzblossom8168]

Like that music styles and dances from African or black nations have become popular. Dancehall, afrobeats from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, etc, etc

[@unathinkomo5858]

That "Yohh!!" is so South Africa😭🇿🇦🤭

[@blkcoverboy1049]

Tyla looks like a mermaid fresh out the sea every time 💫🤎

[@gew12]

This girl is destined for great things

[@rosehiggins6510]

Absolutely!! She reminds me of Sade ❤️😍

[@gew12]

@@rosehiggins6510 ok Can't quite see that but both very talented. I would say Sade was more or an introvert whilst Tyla an extrovert.

[@Zizi_Major]

Tyla is representing South Africa very very well🇿🇦 Coloured Baba!!🎉

[@kashmeremajesty2163]

She so pretty, I love her accent and outfits. I hope she do a lot more music,. music videos and win plenty of awards which will be well deserved

[@TheTonyspik]

Yes and hopefully keeps an authentic south African sound. Fuse it with other sounds but don't loose the uniqueness of that sound.

[@heykaybee3]

one thing about her? there'll be a "yoh!" in every interview. love her so much.

[@elizabethmuthembwa3234]

Heard it's intentional. A marketing strategy 😊

[@trueexplorer894]

From 🇹🇿, this is what I gonna say about Tyla, despite having travelled to so many places she still embraces her African culture (South Africa). It's not about the outfits but rather the roots. You can even feel her accent and she stays natural to whoever she is talking to. For that, she earns my big respect.

[@athenagriego4561]

Id like to hear Rhianna and her in the same room talking. The accents are so cute

[@princessz3960]

I love her accent ! 🫶🏾 love from Congo! Go tyla !🎉

[@silentstorm0001]

The Yoh and the clap had me weak and screaming! I'm so proud of Tyla and I love Water. It needs to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100! ❤

[@robinwhite2471]

She's right about all African music, it makes you want to dance. Did anything move at all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Don't ever change j, and keep being amazing!♥️✌🏿💪🏿🌹

[@janomesteve3129]

So proud of my fellow South African Tyla ❤

[@brianna7810]

I see young selena gomez, and ariana grande when i look at her. Also love her accent, what a breath of fresh air ❤

[@sgjdsyevkfhao]

I love her accent too and she seems like such a sweet and genuine soul really!

[@CJ-dg3bm]

? She's African( more specifically Zulu,.Indian, Mauritian and irish) She does not look like either of those young ladies. She looks exactly like what her lineage is.

[@sgjdsyevkfhao]

@@CJ-dg3bm maybe they mean personality? But idk

[@Thessalonians22-kg8pf]

Let's hope the industry is treating her better than they did them.

[@darjohn9550]

You are absolutely correct! She does look very much like Selena Gomez.

[@Babygel]

I love her energy and personality she seems so down to earth

[@lisagriffin8221]

Carrying her Africanness with prideee! I absolutely adore her

[@servingcant]

I can’t wait for her debut album, it’s going to be fire.
