Tyla lands in a legal nightmare

However, not all news was good news for the singer after she and her team were served legal papers.

Briefly News reports that Tyla's breakout single, Water, is at the centre of a royalty lawsuit after two California-based producers and songwriters have taken her record label to court.

They allege that they were left out of the credits and thus did not receive their share of the royalties from the global hit.

Meanwhile, the main producer of the song reportedly received full production credits. Zucca and LoMastro, the other contributors, claim they attempted to settle the matter privately with the producer, who allegedly refused to negotiate.

South Africans debate over Shekhinah and Tyla

In more Tyla updates, Briefly News shared online reactions to the singer being compared to Shekhinah.

A South African social media user claimed the Suited hitmaker could have reached global success like Tyla, saying she's far better than her, but people slammed them:

Lowkey_Theseus said:

“I’m a fan of Shekhinah, and I hardly listen to Tyla, but the only thing Shekhinah has over Tyla is songwriting. As vocalists, they are not in the same tier; I won’t even touch appeal and PR. Shekhinah was having organic growth until it was stunted by Amapiano, which made Tyla.”
