Tyla puts interviewers on blast

The Push 2 Start hitmaker went online and dragged the media people who ask some weird questions just to spin the story to make it something that it is not.

"Interviewers are asking questions for headlines, I swear. They're like, "If you could steal someone's clothes, who would it be?" For the article to end up as, 'Tyla wants to steal Timmy thick's clothes. Like?" she wrote.
