[@227Love]

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🎉🎉

[@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]

Ngiya vuma

[@sugarzblossom8168]

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

[@JuneBee9606]

She's so South African with the yohhhhhhhh 😂😂😂😂 Southy stand up we are well represented ❤❤❤

[@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]

I was looking for this comment 😂❤

[@RuanAntunes7]

Only other South Africans will pick up on that.

[@Zizi_Major]

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

[@unathinkomo5858]

That "Yohh!!" is so South Africa😭🇿🇦🤭

[@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.

[@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.

[@princessz3960]

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

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@janomesteve3129]

So proud of my fellow South African 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! ❤

[@Babygel]

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

[@blkcoverboy1049]

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

[@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!♥️✌🏿💪🏿🌹

[@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.

[@athenagriego4561]

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

[@shaunramkelawon]

I love that shes so authentic! shes not trying to be anyone else!

[@user-uy2jo6ov5s]

Love you Tyla! That YOH!!!!!!!! is South African for sure. All the best

[@artworksphotography4682]

We're witnessing a MEGA STAR that's already HERE!🎉❤🎉🎉 Congratulations 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]
