@HankCampbell claimed:

"South Africa is up there with Ireland and Sweden as most antisemitic countries so it's no surprise @Trevornoah wrapped himself in the flag of comedy to promote that stuff.. He never made those jokes about Muslim women. So he knows which religions won't put a fatwa on him"

Cardi B defends Tyla after MTV VMAs drama

Briefly News previously reported that Tyla has been a hot topic of discussion ever since her global hit song Water went viral. She has collected numerous awards, including a Grammy, a BET and most recently, an MTV Video Music Award. Following her acceptance speech, Americans united against Tyla, and they dragged her for filth online.

Bongos hitmaker Cardi B went on X (formerly Twitter) spaces to defend Tyla following the recent social media bullying. Viewers felt as though Tyla was rude towards Halle Bailey for asking her to hold her award. Instead, Cardi observed that she was asking Lil Nas X to hold her award because he was the man.
