South African music star Tyla has fans going wild on social media, buzzing with excitement over rumours of her collaborating with 21 Savage and Rema.
The hype started when famous American streamer Kai Cenat, who once tried to win Tyla’s heart but got politely turned down, teased some new tracks during his latest livestream. One of these songs featured Tyla, and it was enough to send her fans into a frenzy.
As soon as the song snippet hit, Tyla shot to the top of trending lists. People couldn't stop talking about the unreleased track and the potential collaboration with such big names in the music industry.
Some agree that it’s “another banger” while others are questioning the ensemble in agreement with Cenat.
