@Femzyr1 asked:
"Is Tyla Aware That Future Has 8 baby mamas already? Or She Just Wants To Be The 9th One?"
@true_var joked:
"She wants to change from amapiano to R&B/ soul after the toxicity phase 1."
@OfficialBPlus praised Tyla after her performance:
"Tyla has the most aura I’ve seen from a female singer in YEARS. Every song she sings becomes a banger. Say what you want, but she’s on a trajectory to become a LEGEND. Already a superstar, next level is mega star."
@RealEjiofor_ asked:
"She probably has no self-control. And who is that guy who wasn't even paying attention to her? Anyway, she could never get him because he's above her league... Nice try Tyla."
Tyla's national anthem performance angers SA
Fans were outraged after Tyla sang the national anthem, but they could not see her. That was because the cameras were focused on other people, and the choir which sang alongside her, but she only appeared for two seconds.
One of the people who was angry was radio personality Anele Mdoda, who joked about the cameraman being a Rihanna fan.
"The director is a Rihanna fan," SHE said. In another post, Anele screamed, "You want to tell me you stayed on the backup singers longer than TYLAAAAAAAAAAA. Get serious here."
