Tyla Claps Back At Fan Who Accused Her Of Hating Clothes
South African pop sensation Tyla responded sharply to a fan’s criticism of her outfit on social media. The exchange occurred on Saturday, January 4, when Tyla shared photos from a beach outing with the caption, “Lookin like a tourist in my country.” A user reacted negatively, commenting, “Tyla, why don’t you just walk naked in public? Seems like you hate clothes.”
Tyla fired back, writing, “You want me to wear a onesie on the beach? Stfu.” The fan later apologized, but by then, social media users had rallied in Tyla’s defense, questioning the rationale behind the critique of her choice to wear a bikini with a cover-up at the beach.

Tyla has risen swiftly in the global music scene, dispelling early doubts about her staying power after her viral hit “Water” took the internet by storm.
Her debut album, “Tyla,” featured successful tracks like “Jump,” “PUSH 2 START,” and “Truth or Dare.” She has collaborated with renowned artists, including Tems, Gunna, Skillibeng, Travis Scott, and Becky G.
In a September interview with ‘ELLE Magazine,’ Tyla reflected on dealing with critics, stating, “Initially, I used to care. Recently, I’ve just been feeling like, ‘They’re gonna say what they wanna say, and it doesn’t even matter because I know it’s not that.’” She also shared insights about her creative process and career growth, adding, “I’m very involved in everything that I do: my sound, my image, what I wear, what I look like. It matters that it aligns with how I’m feeling and ties in with the music. Because at the end of the day, I’m an artist. I model, but it’s on the side.”
Tyla’s confident response and focus on her artistry underline her determination to chart her path amid public scrutiny.
