Tyla accused of copying Chanel song concept

Chanel, which she released on 24 October, 2025, took the internet by storm. It also made headlines when American rapper Young Miami accused Tyla of copying her unreleased song Take Me to Chanel.

The former City Girls member went on X (formerly Twitter) and claimed in a series of tweets that she had played Tyla the song. She added:

"Take me to Chanel > Put me in Chanel."

The internet went wild when the accusations were made against Tyla, with many Americans defending the South African singer and bashing Yung Miami for allegedly clout-chasing.
