South African music sensation Tyla has set the record straight after fresh allegations surfaced claiming that she charged rapper Nasty C a staggering $300,000 USD for a feature on one of his songs. The rumor, which has circulated on social media for some time, recently gained renewed attention before being publicly dismissed by both artists.
Tyla, who has become one of the biggest stars to emerge from South Africa in recent years, responded to the claim with humor after coming across a video discussing the alleged fee. The Grammy Award-winning singer appeared surprised by the accusation and wasted no time addressing it directly.
The singer commented under the TikTok post, writing:
“Me just finding this out.”
Her response quickly went viral, with fans praising her lighthearted reaction to the claim. The comment also fueled further discussion online, as many questioned where the rumor had originally started.
The matter was later addressed by Nasty C himself during a livestream, where he firmly denied the allegation and made it clear that there was no truth to the story.
“That is made up, super cap,” Nasty C said.
His response effectively shut down speculation that Tyla had demanded such a large amount of money to collaborate on a song. The clarification from both artists has now helped put an end to a rumor that has lingered among music fans for quite some time.
As Tyla’s international profile continues to grow, so too has the amount of speculation surrounding her career. Since the global success of hits such as Water, she has become one of Africa’s most recognizable music exports, leading to increased public interest in her collaborations, performances, and business dealings.
With success often comes rumors, and this latest claim is another example of how misinformation can spread quickly across social media platforms. However, both Tyla and Nasty C addressed the matter directly, providing fans with clarity and reinforcing the importance of verifying information before accepting it as fact.
The interaction between the two artists also highlighted the mutual respect that exists between them. Rather than allowing the rumor to continue circulating, they both chose to respond publicly and dismiss it in a straightforward manner.
Fans were relieved to see the issue cleared up, with many taking to social media to celebrate the fact that one of South Africa’s most talked-about music rumors had finally been debunked. Others praised Tyla for handling the situation with humor and confidence.
As both artists continue to enjoy successful careers, supporters are now turning their attention back to what matters most — the music. With Tyla dominating global charts and Nasty C continuing to release new material, fans remain hopeful that a future collaboration between the two stars could eventually become a reality.
The claim that Tyla charged Nasty C $300,000 for a feature has officially been shut down.
