Fans were not simply impressed by the co-sign. Many were suspicious of it, suggesting the rapper had ulterior motives, particularly after Tyla was previously reported to have cited Nasty C as one of her inspirations.

The post drew a flood of responses ranging from wholesome support to outright scepticism. Here is what people had to say:

@skengmanwickedd: "Ayo Reece! been your fan since the days of Kena"

@CanduDereal: "Cap! You are just begging for a feature 🤨"

@Athie28264659: "She said she was inspired by Nasty C in a video. We see you low-key begging for that feature. Go back to Ayanda Jiya, bro"

@PapieJayx: "She's inspired by nasty c all of a sudden Mr mysterious is a huge fan 🤣🤣🤣"

@KingKabazela: "Tyla made A-Reece come outside!"

Whether A-Reece is simply a genuine fan of the track or angling for a future collaboration remains to be seen, but the post has certainly put the idea of an A-Reece and Tyla feature firmly in the public conversation.
