Award-winning South African singer Tyla, known for her global hit Water, recently shut down a social media troll who criticized her beach attire. After returning to South Africa for the holiday season, the rising star has been sharing glimpses of her relaxing moments, from family bonding to sunny beach outings.
Taking to her social media, Tyla posted stunning photos of herself enjoying the beach, dressed in a chic bikini. Captioning the images, “Looking like a tourist in my country,” the singer exuded confidence and pride in celebrating her roots. However, while many fans admired her beauty and style, one online user had a different opinion and expressed it in a harsh comment.
The critic wrote, “Tyla, why don’t you just walk naked in public? Seems like you hate clothes.”
Tyla, who is no stranger to standing up for herself, wasted no time in delivering a sharp response. She clapped back, saying, “You want me to wear a onesie on the beach? Stfu.”
Tyla’s unapologetic response aligns with her growing reputation as a fearless artist who doesn’t shy away from expressing herself, whether through her music or personal style. Known for her vibrant energy and boldness, the Water hitmaker continues to inspire her audience to embrace confidence and individuality.
The exchange comes after an incredible year for the singer, who has achieved global success with her debut album and secured major accolades, including the African Song of the Year award at the 3Music Awards. As Tyla enjoys her well-deserved break in her home country, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for the star, who has solidified herself as a trailblazer in the music industry.
