Tyla Says She Is Not Sorry After Tiwa Savage Apologized to Black Americans on Her Behalf
Grammy-winning South African star Tyla has responded after Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage issued an apology to Black Americans on her behalf regarding her use of the word “coloured.”
The controversy began when Tyla described herself as “coloured,” a term that is widely recognized in South Africa to define people of mixed heritage. While the label is normal in her country, it carries a deeply offensive history in the United States, where it was once used to demean Black people.
Her statement quickly drew backlash from many African Americans, sparking debates online. In the middle of the storm, Tiwa Savage, while speaking on The Breakfast Club in the U.S., apologized to the Black community on Tyla’s behalf, saying she did so as the younger star’s “elder.”
That apology, however, didn’t sit well with many South Africans, who criticized Savage for speaking for Tyla without fully understanding South African identity and racial context.
Tyla herself also seemed to address the issue indirectly during her performance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York over the weekend. Right before performing her track Mr Media, she boldly told the crowd: “Sorry, I am not sorry.” The statement was widely seen as a rejection of Tiwa’s public apology.
Nigerian singer Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.
Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has made headlines after calling on his colleague, Blaqbonez, for a possible collaboration.
The singer Young Jonn took to social media and excitedly shared “I need like 5 bad friends way we go dey move in bulk!” Young Jonn wrote.
Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
The singer replied with an old post from 2015 that said, “Go sing as one with Coublon.”
