Social media reacts as Yung Miami accuses Tyla
In the comments section beneath the Pop Base post, social media users were divided into Yung Miami and Tyla camps. Some suggested that Yung Miami was using the drama to promote her song.
Here are some of the comments:
@0xx_Olu questioned:
"That diddler had nothing better to do with her time than to accuse Tyla for clout?"
@KhizXL mocked:
“Not Tyla catching ‘you stole my song’ beef from someone who rhymed ACT UP with ACT UP. Miami is acting like she copyrighted the word Chanel 💀”
@bardigangca argued:
“The people in the comments want to act dumb. Multiple artists used Chanel, but not in the same way and perspective that Tyla and Yung Miami used it. They used Chanel as a way to their heart and demanded it from a man who claims to love them and wants them. 'Put me in Chanel' and 'Take me to Chanel' both have the same idea. @YungMiami305”
@Rashwak001 said:
“The music drama is hitting harder than the beats themselves. Yung Miami is throwing accusations like it's social commentary, while fans are stuck picking sides and streaming both tracks nonstop. The shade alone is giving more buzz than any release.”
@DamonStrong asked:
“Similar lyric, different song. How many songs in history have had the lyric ‘Hold me tight’? DOZENS.”
