Just when you thought Tyla had moved on from clashing with American musicians and listeners, she's facing a new wave of backlash, this time, it's over an X post she interacted with.
The Water hitmaker is accused of endorsing a post calling for Nicki Minaj's retirement, highlighting the rapper's now-controversial public persona.
Published by the self-proclaimed queen of rap's fan page, fullfatcowsmilk on 14 December 2025, the user's heartbreak was evident in the tone of the post as they lamented the recent change in Nicki's behaviour through incidents that have tarnished her reputation.
"Keep that album. Delete social media and hide yourself from the public. Just go away and never come back. You’re done. It’s done. You are too mentally insane to be in the public eye anymore. It was a good run. You accomplished a lot, revived an entire genre, but it’s over now."

This comes after Nicki had engaged in several concurrent feuds, including her beef with Meagan Thee Stallion, her years-long feud with Cardi B, as well as her unexpected comments about Jay-Z.
Tyla was caught having retweeted the post and was immediately accused of being a hater. And considering her surprisingly close relationship with Cardi B, many people believed that her repost, though now removed, was a subtle yet direct endorsement of Nicki Minaj's longtime rival.
While Nicki has yet to address the backlash, Tyla shared a post implying that the repost was a mistake while quoting Nobody's Perfect by Hannah Montana.

Meanwhile, others criticised the singer.
biggcole_ said:
"Y'all do realise she has one good mainstream song, that’s it, and she thinks she’s on Nicki's level. It's wild."
denoyagel1 defended Nicki Minaj:
"Minaj is far too wise and intelligent to be mentally unstable. A woman who speaks up for the weak and uses her platform to empower others clearly has clarity of mind and purpose. Attacking her like this is completely unfair."

"Reposting it is louder than saying it. That’s not shade, that’s choosing a side and once you do that on the internet, don’t act surprised when the internet responds accordingly."
