Remember When Kanye West Showed Love to Tyla with a Heartfelt Message
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.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
