Why Nasty C won't react to Tyla

Nasty C said the growing "Nasty C and Tyla" narrative online is exactly the kind of thing he wants no part of. He is concerned that doing a reaction video could easily be read the wrong way, whether as trolling, hating, or riding Tyla's wave for attention. "A lot of that stuff can get lost in translation," he said in the clip, adding that he does not want her to ever feel like he is trying to get clout off her name.

Despite skipping the public reaction, he was clear that he had no intention of skipping the music itself. "I am going to listen to it, though, for sure," he said. "We are big Tyla supporters in this house."

@kekemashile was more pointed, saying: "I feel like the time he spends doing these things, he should use for studio, people will say he has studio time, well, it isn't enough because he has time for this."

@Mr4InsideIt took a lighter angle, commenting: "He shoulda been on Mr Nonchalant for sho."
