Tyla Speaks on Viral 'Water' Dance, Drake Following Her, and GRAMMY Nomination | Interview

[@JosephIilonga]

She was so comfortable, listened very well and gave accurate responses. I love how she stayed herself during the entire interview and never changed her accent at all.

[@charlesbarclay8181]

Tyla is matured for her age. Like she was prepared for all of the success she's experiencing.

[@thermologo3451]

It's not like she could change it of she wanted to

[@robertaprata19]

This was beautiful to watch. I hope that she always herself and humble as she is. Such a cool singer.

[@AfricanBan2]

You can’t change what you don’t have

[@toofar2real]

Why would she change it, it only makes her stand out more

[@Slindo_M]

Tyla is so like-able, warm, authentic & beautiful. A truly South African 🥲😍🙌🏾

[@JosephIilonga]

Big Boy did an amazing job interviewing her. Shout out to his team too. She was so comfortable.

[@jahannakitto7604]

Yeah they made her feel so comfortable

[@B.W.T.B.W]

He's 1 the best interviewers ever, he's 1 of them people that if somebody doesn't like him it's them with the issues cos ya can't not like the guy man. Genuine good dude and he's he's about his family too super good dad from what ive heard and I respect that bigtime

[@limazibuko8915]

I love it when she says ‘I’m telling you!” It’s so coloured, so South African! She is all over the place and I love it!! 🥹😍😭

[@777skiiii7]

U can definitely see in her performances what she said about wanting to do this her whole life is true wishing her lots of success in her career

[@MT_7284E]

I pray for this artist's well-being and safety as she enters the predatory world of the American music industry. She is so full of life and light right now. I pray for her protection.

[@MsNairobi]

We pray for a wedge of protection around her. Her family has to really protect her and be involved.. we all know the mess in American Holywood ...Tyla should remain totally South African

[@thriftstorescoffeeshops]

[@sakhumzibara6871]

Me too, I pray for her safety.

[@Greeny_isthegoat]

As a Cape coloured, it always amazes me at how different the Gauteng coloureds sound compare to the rest of the community. Like she says. "It's a vibe" Durban coloureds just sound Indian.

There's literally no way you could hear Tyla speak without her saying "Yoh" she's so South African love it ❤😂

[@danj7720]

Her presence, voice and aura is very refreshing to watch and hear. Hope the music industry doesn’t ruin her big things to come for this beauty 😊

[@B.W.T.B.W]

Same I hope she stays true to her self man cos she seems a real good person and the music industry can ruin people and money can change people for the worse aswell a lot of people that come from humble beginnings that get big amounts of money turn arrogant snobby stuck up and just turn into shitty people man. Id never let money change me if I was super rich I'd do a hell of a lot of giving back do a lot for communities charities and people that need help

[@2scents]

Proud of all South Africans doing it big in Hollywood. Tyla in particular radiates the South African spirit with her personality. Great ambassador for our sound

[@ScottThePisces]

Tyla really gives me those wholesome "Music of the Sun" Rihanna vibes, I wonder what wave she'll be on in 5 years time music wise and if the industry will throw her down the "Good girl gone bad" cliche they always pull 🤔

[@mattd2026]

🤟😔

[@mabel9701]

She also reminds me of Rihanna’s early days straight from the Caribbeans.

[@sarahtrinkitty868]

Africa and the Caribbean have wholesome values, our children are grounded. Sadly sometimes they can't resist the money temptation. I hope she stays authentic.

I been tellin folk about SA for a long time. It was just a matter of time. So pleased that Tyla was the one to prove me right. She gets it. And her producers magnified the SA vibe to show the world that afrohouse is a genre to be reckoned with. She has put Johannesburg on the map and what better representative!
