SA reacts to Tyla previewing her new single

Shortly after the video of the singer previewing her new single went viral on social media, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@ItisSamhere said:

"Whenever Tyla's name is brought up, I really struggle to push myself to like her music under the facade of 'hey, she's South African, so she represents us' - these words just instantly pop up in my head, you know. I feel that way about her music."

@azania1023 wrote:

"Tyla is up there right on the top; she has achieved something many failed to achieve for many years."

@justtnancy_ commented:

"She must keep releasing and step on their necks!"

@Normanbooz responded:

"She didn't even give us the full WWP EP if I remember correctly, and the songs she released were bangers? She's not fully milking out her hits and moments. Chanel is still doing great. She should milk that first before giving us new music."

Somizi defend Tyla from trolls

In February 2026, just after the Water hitmaker won her second Grammy award, she was bullied and dragged on social media by Nigerian tweeps because she had surpassed Davido. However, Somizi Mhlongo didn't like how they were coming for the 24-year-old star, mentioning that they have been making us Africans look like a joke to the whole world as they continuously blasted Tyla.

"I’m gonna speak about this as calmly and as politely as I can. The level of entitlement. The sense of entitlement. Hm? Grammys are not your mother’s jumping castle party. Grammys are not Nigerian music awards. The level of entitlement thinking that only Nigerians who are nominated are qualified to win," he said.
