When she released her EP We Wanna Party, Tyla was excited to finally be collaborating with Wizkid.
Taking to Instagram, Tyla wrote, MR MEDIA (MacBook video). The first part of my mixtape is out now. Got one with Wiz finally. Go listen," she said.
Although she was hyped for the release, Tyla's first week sales were said to have flopped as she only sold 6000 units in the US.

Tiwa Savage responds to Tyla's jabs
In a previous report from Briefly News, Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has broken her silence after Tyla's 'Sorry, not sorry' jab during her performance at the Global Citizen stage.
The singer got dragged for apologising to Black Americans on behalf of Tyla for identifying as a Coloured South African. Even after she set the record straight, Mzansi is still dragging Tiwa Savage, especially since her statement seemed unapologetic. The host read out Tiwa's statement sent through her team, which reads:
“Tiwa’s intention was never to speak for others, but to approach the question that she was asked with empathy.”
