An old video of Tyla talking about how she feels about Rema and clarifying rumours that they were romantically involved has surfaced, sparking a flurry of reactions.
Over the years, Tyla has been linked with several of her colleagues in the entertainment industry. Despite this, Tyla has kept her romantic life under wraps and has often refrained from setting the record straight when fans link her with a fellow entertainer.
A clip from an interview Tyla did in 2023 has found new life on social media. The snippet shows Tyla talking about Rema and clarifying the romance rumours on The Dotty Show, which airs on Apple Music.

“Rema would be cute. Vibes. Yeah.”
Dotty then asked Tyla if there was more to her relationship with Rema, referencing a photo of the two musicians hanging out together.
“I saw you hanging out with Rema like last year. Like you guys got pictures together,” Dotty said.
Tyla also recalled spending time together and laughed about how fans made their photos seem more dramatic than they really were.
“That was so dramatic. Like, after that situation, I realised Hollywood vibes, like you can't trust everything you see, 'cause that looked like a scandal. Even I started believing, ‘Hey, what's happening over here?’”
When Dotty asked her to confirm whether they were dating, Tyla doubled down, saying that they were just friends.
“Yeah, we're just friends,” Tyla said before the clip ended.
