"Why couldn't Tyla Seethal sing one of Miriam Makeba's songs? She had many hits, she was South African, born in Johannesburg. Why must Africans ALWAYS use American Black folks' work to get attention and succeed?"
@tylasbodyguard commented:
"She really was destined for this, and this is just further proof."
