The young pop amapiano sensation, Tyla, is currently basking in the joy of quality time spent with her family and friends in the heart of Mzansi. Recently, an enthusiastic fan, an ‘X’ user, shared a delightful video capturing the 21-year-old star immersed in the warmth of her hometown companions.
Tyla, who gained notable recognition for her hit song “Water,” returned home after a brief episode of controversy. While abroad, she faced criticism for identifying herself as coloured rather than black. Undeterred, she came back to her roots, seeking solace and connection with her roots in South Africa.
The fan shared a video on Twitter, showcasing Tyla enjoying a gathering with her family and friends, radiating happiness in the midst of her loved ones. The caption aptly captures the essence of the moment: “Tyla at a gathering with her family and friends in South Africa!”
The online community swiftly chimed in. Offering diverse opinions on Tyla’s choice to spend time with her coloured family in Mzansi. The reactions were as varied as the vibrant South African culture itself.
One user, @scorpicapemini, humorously remarked, “Lol, these are darkies. End the discourse expeditiously.” While @oAI_011 playfully noted, “Tyla ke chipi neh, but her sister ke soulmate yaka.”
Amidst the banter, @MphoMoalamedi injected a bit of satire, stating. “Look at her feeding her whole African family using the proceeds she got from appropriating African American cultures.”
However, @ThatOnePoes issued a playful caution. “Don’t let the Americans see this before it’s tyla’s family house is so American-inspired down to the hookah pipe and outside braai.” Yet, amidst the jest, messages of support were also prevalent, as @tyygres expressed. “We love a supportive family,” and @whydntyouluvme shared, “Using money from our streams. Tyla built a house for her family in Africa in the village of Johannesburg. Once again, proving that without FBAs, African tethers are nothing.”
In essence, a light-hearted observation, @luniiko6 humorously concluded, “The hookah is proof that she’s coloured.” Tyla’s homecoming has, indeed, sparked a lively conversation, with fans celebrating the artist’s embrace of her cultural identity. And the joyous moments shared with her cherished crew in the vibrant landscape of Mzansi.
