Fans were more than convinced that ‘real recognises real’ and LeBron James was giving Tyla a nod. An Instagram user commented, “Tyla is now a global sensation and a Hollywood inductee, so obviously she is bound to rub shoulders with the gentry.”
Another user added, “South African female artists/entertainers watching this video are in envy in their hearts; they wish it was them.” This is not the first time she has rubbed shoulders with several celebrities.
She has rubbed shoulders with celebrities like Travis Scott and Chris Brown. She once sparked some dating rumours with Nigerian star Rema. Against the trends, she was quick to rubbish the daring rumours.
WINNING BIG
In the backdrop of her newfound fame, she has been winning big. ‘Water’ was the first song by a South African soloist to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 in 55 years.
During the Grammy Awards, Tyla became the first artist to win the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance. Her win also saw her go down in the history books of the prestigious awards.
She became the youngest-ever African artist to win a Grammy Award. Tyla has been winning big and is poised for greatness. She has kept her private life under wraps, leaving many to guess.
