Despite the fact that she appears to have requested Halle Bailey and Lil Nas X for assistance in hoisting her MTV Video Music Awards trophy, Tyla is dismissing the detractors.
Since the release of her big hit “Water” in 2023, the South African singer and composer, who is 22 years old, has been creating waves in the music industry. The record was honoured with the prize for best afrobeat at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, which took place on September 11th. Congratulations!
It was the Little Mermaid star, who is 24 years old, and the hitmaker of “Industry Baby,” who is 25 years old, who were present onstage to give her the award. Nevertheless, the occasion was spoilt when users of social media criticised Tyla for asking the stars if they could hold her moonman because it was too heavy for her to carry.
The “Truth or Dare” performer said, “Oh my gosh,” as Lil Nas X handed her the moon man during the viral moment that caused the internet to go viral. You are familiar with me, and I have been awarded. I’m sorry, but I’m not that powerful that I can do it.
“Please, please,” she said, holding out her moon man to them as Lil Nas X reluctantly walked up to temporarily collect the prize so that Tyla could give her acceptance speech. “Please, please,” she said. On the other hand, Bailey, who was smiling, did not move.
Tyla eventually provided clarification of the incident via social media, stating that she had never requested that the movie star handle her award.
“Y’all make everything weird,” the native of Johannesburg wrote in a message that was published on X (which was once known as Twitter) that evening after the event. I did not want to ask my girlfriend Halle… I recently won a VMAAAA, and we are just gals. STFU.
Over the course of the month of June, Tyla joined the stage at the 2024 BET Awards to perform “Jump,” which is one of her most recent hits and also features Gunna and Skillibeng.
The seductive song, which reflects her South African background, matched her performance on Culture’s Biggest Night. The performance began with her beginning in a cage packed with dancers painted like gigantic tigers, which was a subtle homage to her devoted audience, the Tygers.
At the same time, stilt walkers joined the set.
After getting four nominations for the BET Awards, she went on to win two awards that evening: in the category of best new artist and in the category of best foreign act.
In May, the young star made her debut at the Met Gala with a manicure that was dripping with diamonds. This year, she also earned a name for herself in the world of fashion.
I was able to get up with Tyla as she was giving the media a sneak peek at her nail art at The Mark Hotel before she went to the special event. The vocalist stated that she did not have any concerns regarding the possibility that her nails might make it difficult for her to consume food.
The prompt response that she gave was, “It doesn’t matter.” “The design is so adorable!”
Her Balmain gown, a sand-based creation resembling an hourglass and drawn inspiration from the book “The Sands of Time,” went perfectly with the diamond manicure.
