Before she won her first Grammy, she was admired by many in her home country and abroad. But the value added to her existing recognition has made a lot more fans profess love for South Africa’s Tyla.
On Wednesday, American cable television channel MTV posted on X (Twitter) asking followers to explain why they love Tyla Seethal and the impact she has had on them. There were about 64,000 comments, with lots of positive remarks about the Water hitmaker.
Some people say she is an inspiration to many young people, while others admire her confidence and the fact that she represents the African culture beautifully.
For some, it is her sense of fashion and the infectious smiles and giggles that keep them excited anytime she appears in public.
“Our African Queen… Major inspiration for every African child. I love Tyla because she’s a great dancer, Hilarious (like me), and she’s super talented and stunning,” one of her fans wrote.
