Two of South Africa's biggest music personalities, Cassper Nyovest and Tyla, shared a memorable moment at the South African Music Awards on 15 August 2026, and the internet has not stopped talking about it since. A video of the pair dancing together to Tyla's latest hit track, That Girl, quickly went viral after it captured their effortless sync on the viral dance challenge routine.
Tyla kept her show-stopping mesh dress and high heels on for the impromptu dance, while Cassper complemented the moment in a navy buttoned-down shirt and matching suit trousers. The two looked every bit the superstars they are, and fans were blown away by how well they matched each other's energy and moves.
The video carried extra weight given Cassper's well-documented admiration for Tyla. During an appearance on the L-Tido Podcast in 2025, the rapper jokingly crowned Tyla as a paternal figure for a generation of African artists striving for global success.
"Tyla is our father, Papa Tyla," he said, naming himself among the artists inspired by her extraordinary rise.
