She said:
"Album of the year? Am I an album girl? Or am I a streaming single girl? [by Davido featuring Musa Keys] on repeat. That and Mnike [by Tyler ICU and Tumelo] are my song of the year.”
Speaking to Briefly News, Tyler said:
" Those are my proudest moments and they also motivate me to do and more going forward cause I can see that God has put me in the right lane I just need to stay humble and grow at a rate that God feels it’s okay and I just take things as they come.
