One social media user, @NEEDlTINME2, led the charge against Tyla. The social media user shared pictures from the campaign and paired them with a caption, mocking the South Africa-born musician and accusing her of copying Rihanna. The post was captioned:

“Lmfaaaooooo what in the Good Girl Gone WRONG is going on here… now she’s in a new Rihanna era 😭😭😭 I’m sorry but if I were Rihanna I would genuinely be annoyed and taken aback. Tyla needs to find her own identity immediately.”

A South African social media user @LWavezzz stepped in to defend Tyla. They argued that the hairstyle has historical origins and isn’t synonymous with Rihanna.

“Our black and coloured mothers did not get razor cuts in the 80s and 90s for you to claim Tyla is inspired by Rihanna✋🏽,” @LWavezzz said.

Fans defend Tyla amid American hate

Several netizens concurred with the South African social media user and called American social media users uncultured.

“They think the world started in 2005😂”

“You’re arguing with people who have to choose ABCD in high school, they know nothing about critical thinking. They think Rihanna, who is not even American, is the first woman to have that style lol.”

@therealestnomsa joked:

“I even have a pic of 2 of my grannies in their razor wigs from the 80s😂😂I guess they copied Rihanna too.”

@Kimdavids6 argued:

“At this point, South Africans copied breathing from them 😅😅😅 Always having an issue.”
