In a recent performance that has caught the attention of music fans worldwide, American rapper Cardi B seemingly threw shade at South African pop singer Tyla during the TikTok’s “In The Mix” event. This incident has led to widespread speculation about a possible feud between the two artists.
Cardi B, known for her unapologetic style and bold performances, raised eyebrows during her set at the event on Sunday, 10 December. While performing her hit song “Money,” she made a statement that some interpreted as a jab at Tyla. Cardi B said, “All I ever need is the money, but sometimes I need some fing Water!… F Water!” This remark came as a surprise to many, considering Tyla’s recent success with her song “Water,” which has made significant waves in the music industry.
Tyla, a rising star in the music scene, has recently made history by becoming the first solo South African artist to appear on the Billboard chart since jazz legend Hugh Masekela over five decades ago. Her American television debut on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she performed “Water,” has been a significant milestone in her career. Additionally, she has been nominated for a Grammy award under the Best New Artist category.
Social media users quickly picked up on Cardi B’s comments, with some questioning whether there was an underlying beef between her and Tyla. One user asked, “Is she Beefing with Lil African Gal Tyla Or What?” while another commented, “not [you] beefing with Tyla.” The reactions varied, with some expressing confusion and others speculating about the reasons behind Cardi B’s remarks.
This incident has not only stirred conversations among fans but also highlights the complexities and competitive nature of the music industry. As both artists continue to make their mark globally, the music community eagerly watches to see if this apparent feud develops further or if it remains a momentary spark in the vast landscape of international music.
