Summary
- Tyla wore a temporary body tattoo resembling a jacket in Paris.
- She discussed past bullying over her hair and skin tone.
- Tyla addressed criticism for handing award to Lil Nas X.
During Paris Fashion Week, Tyla, the 24-year-old singer, turned heads with a striking temporary body tattoo that mimicked a jacket. She was seen leaving her hotel adorned in the snakeskin-print art, paired with unbuttoned jeans and strappy heels.
In a recent interview, Tyla shared vulnerable details about her past, recounting experiences of being bullied for her hair and skin tone at a predominantly white primary school in South Africa. These experiences, she revealed, led to self-doubt before she found self-acceptance in high school.
The artist also addressed criticism she received after the 2024 MTV Music Video Awards. Tyla explained that she asked Lil Nas X to hold her heavy award trophy during her acceptance speech for Best Afrobeats to focus on her message, not the weight of the award.
Tyla, who hails from South Africa, also used her platform to advocate for the diverse nature of African music, emphasizing her Amapiano genre beyond the Afrobeats categorization. She celebrated the global success of her hit song 'Water.'
