Tyla is not here for the rumour mill. The A-Pop princess sat down with content creator Quen Blackwell on Feeding Starving Celebrities, whipping up South African dishes while addressing some of the hottest chatter surrounding her name, including whether something romantic is brewing between her and rapper Future.

The two artists previously shared the stage at the FIFA World Cup, performing their collaboration "Game Time" together. Towards the end of the set, a photo of Tyla throwing a rather sultry glance in Future's direction went viral, sending the internet into overdrive. Fans immediately began concluding, with some even issuing tongue-in-cheek warnings given the Atlanta rapper's well-documented dating history.
