I can't really speak on anything else. I mean, far as the trophies ago I think they probably are heavy for her knowing that she's like kind of skinny and because she's new, she's probably not used to oven. I have the objects like that. I mean who knows? What forest interviews? I think more people are just mad. Because she's duck and indulgent drama. Like sometimes, when new artist comes out they try to find any little thing, especially The Breakfast Club. They try to find any little thing to make somebody speak about something that would have them in beef. With someone else and a lot of artists have called them on several different occasions, about asking them questions that could cause them to have conflict with another artist. So I don't blame her for that other than that. I wish Tyler much, she says. And? Just basically tried to hold her own trophy.Or figuring out how she can she ha ha.On trophies , without people trying to say she's Open VN stuck up.I think she is just an artist that just wants to have her career without any drama.Any problems and she probably really don't mean that much harm that people are making it out to be

[@PrettyTee_what_theycallme]

The thing is when it comes to Wayne, him Drake and Nicki always have each other’s backs. Nicki always publicly defends Wayne and Drake does it behind the scenes and via rap. Drake and pusha T got into it because Drake was defending Wayne. Drake was possibly turning down the Super Bowl because he knew Wayne really wanted the spot as headliner. He’s been saying it for the pass two years. He probably wanted Wayne to bring him out. Wayne is being very humble but behind the scenes he has two very petty ppl who don’t play bout him because he gave them their career.

And the girl can't even be allowed a year of just enjoying being in rooms she never thought she could be in. Black people need to have more grace towards each other. We also don't have to assume the worst all the time. It would be nicer if an African like Ayra Starr was getting all these awards and attention, but that should not only come up as a diss to tyla. The VMAs are fan voted. People dont even actually support Ayra . They just bring her up as an alternative when they want to justify their hate for Tyla. Ayra is too good of an artist to be used like a prop like that. Tyla is helping break that ceiling that has prevented African girls from even being considered in some of these conversations. Diva or not. I'm just happy we are FINALLY here. I hope in the near future, the African music industry will invest in our own award shows and have our own equivalent of a grammy. 😅

Coloureds didn't care about our music and dance style until tyla started shinning the light on it by being the first coloured to have an amapiano song and dance like the black community. Coloureds tried so hard to separate thrmselves from the black race by not speaking the language and not listening and dancing like us. The coloureds that speak venac are more closer to the black community than those that only speak the white mans language. And tyla speaks venac better than she speaks Afrikaans. In fact she cant speak Afrikaans.

[@beautybae3496]

Are you brainwashed

[@elroyswarts2337]

You mean the "white man's language" that you are speaking right now? If Tyla "cannot speak Afrikaans" where exactly does the COLOURED ACCENT come from when she speaks English?

[@taylorjoseph5113]

Empressive I do realise you try to acknowledge Tyla is not American but this idea that Tyla needs to confirm to black American culture is so weird like she does not want to? Why does she need to? If she fails then atleast it’s on her standards.

The young lady turned around and didn't motion toward Lil Nas specifically, she asked for her award to be held in both of their directions. I see y'all gaslighting the comments saying she didn't ask Halle when she turned around and asked in general in both of their direction.

Do you go into your corporate job with your attitude/personality? She's in another country, working there. She nds to be marketable and asimilate to an extent to the culture and industry of that country. You still gotta respect other people's culture when you're in their country.

[@AlexTheDiamond]

No one needs her to tone down her personality. Be who you are. But darling this is America. Learn about us. Respect it. Or bounce. It’s a fact. You’re here trying to dominate in OUR great country. That’s like us going to Africa and not caring about their customs. You wouldn’t like that. So it goes two ways. Respect 🫡 or be replaced.

Exactly and they don’t realize they are doing her a disservice by lying to her. Obviously she’s gonna make a misstep here and there she’s from a different country with different norms. But it’s how you deal with the misstep that will ultimately keep you around. She has not been handling any of them properly and coddling her will only be a disservice.
