Kanye West has once again made waves on social media, this time with an unexpected show of support for South African artist Tyla Seethal. The controversial music producer and rapper, who had been banned from X (formerly Twitter), shared a post that quickly caught the attention of fans worldwide. Kanye reposted a picture of Tyla alongside rapper Gunna, captioning it with a simple but powerful message: “Respect and love.”

Tyla, known for her unique blend of pop and amapiano music, has been making a huge impact in the global music scene. Her breakout hit “Water” not only became a chart-topping success but also earned her a Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in 2023. With her fusion of genres and infectious sound, she’s been recognized as one of the key figures in the modern African music movement.

The photo Kanye shared featured Tyla and Gunna, likely in reference to their collaborative track “Jump,” which has been a big hit in both the hip-hop and Afrobeats communities. The song showcases Tyla’s ability to merge different musical styles, adding to her growing international acclaim.

Kanye’s shout-out has sparked plenty of buzz, with fans celebrating the rapper’s acknowledgment of Tyla’s talent.
