Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Tyla remained mute on The Breakfast Club as she turned to her team to answer Charlamagne Tha God’s questions about her being coloured or black woman in South Africa.
Tyla, who was already a star in her home country before “Water” broke in America, has had a stellar year to date, releasing a well-received debut album fueled by the Gunna-featuring remix of her breakout hit and cross-cultural collaborations with stars like Becky G and Skillibeng.
Although she was forced to cancel her highly anticipated headlining tour for health reasons, her star continues to rise. And with her previously addressing the differences in how America and South Africa do systemic racism, it’s clear she has no time for the Breakfast Club crew’s usual shenanigans.
Over the years, Charlamagne Tha God has had many awkward moments on “The Breakfast Club.” Tyla’s guest appearance on Thursday (June 13) added to that long list.
During her sit-down with the radio show, the South Carolina native asked about the musician’s racial identity and, more specifically, what it means to be a “South African Coloured person.” Instead of answering the question, Tyla turned to what appeared to be her publicist.
