Tyla has been a hot topic of discussion ever since her global hit song Water went viral. She has collected numerous awards, including a Grammy, a BET and most recently, an MTV Video Music Award. Following her acceptance speech, Americans united against Tyla, and they dragged her for filth online.

Cardi B defends Tyla

Bongos hitmaker Cardi B went on X (formerly Twitter) spaces to defend Tyla following the recent social media bullying. Viewers felt Tyla was rude towards Halle Bailey for asking her to hold her award. Instead, Cardi observed that she was asking Lil Nas X to hold her award because he was the man.

“Tyla wishes she never won that VMA award. If she had known, it would have brought so much hate, so much criticism. I bet she was crying that night,” Cardi told her Bardigang audience.

“The internet is so insufferable. The way you guys will take a picture, a moment, and make it something that it is not, and just crush somebody. You all criticise so much that you do not even notice you are bullying this girl, and you do not really have a reason to, but you are making this a reason because you don’t like her for whatever reason. You all are doing too much.”

Tyla was since called an ‘Uppity African’, and people said she was being overly confident.

Netizens agree with Cardi B

Cardi B continued by saying the awards are very heavy and that Tyla has a smaller build.

“You gotta worry about doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a 10-pound award in your hand. So I just don’t think you understand how heavy those awards are,” she continued.

Netizens reacted to Cardi B’s views:

@Dark_sheriff4 said:

“She a real one.”

@TaylorQueenMada shared:

“Cardi always supporting and mothering these new girls. Cardi I respect you.”

@khandizwe_chris added:

“She’s not even defending, she’s spitting out facts on facts.”

Davido Roasted for congratulating Tyler

According to a previous report by TheTalk.NG, Davido was dragged for allegedly making Tyla’s Grammy Award win about Africa.

The singer congratulated Tyla on her win, saying it was a big deal for the continent, and was roasted by South Africans. Mzansi corrected Davido, saying the Grammy was for South Africa, not the entire continent.
