This is what happen when we let women like Cardi B , Mulato and ice spice, Sawetie in black women spaces . 🤷🏾♀️
Now let’s watch her take home black women awards 🤷🏾♀️
Exactly black women and black men stay calling these women black and they ain’t
Well that's bcz blk ppl allow it
there is no black women award. if she wins it will be because of her Music and talent not her skin color.
@@franckkouakou-df1tiwrong. That is why yall are so weak. Try that with country music awards. 😂
@@tmac662 Then accept that you're being xenophobic and Bigot. don't use fake outrage to hate on her.
Im a coloured and all my family from both my parents side are coloured for over 300 years
Thats how multiracialy mixed we as coloureds can be
Im glad you admitted and said you don’t consider a mixed woman black. They don’t even get the same damn treatment even in our community
But do people understand that we’re not accepted by either of our races? Black ppl hate me, white people hate me…. I can’t wait to die because being mixed is a curse
I hate how people's anti blackness and xenophobia comes out because of this situation. USA and South Africa are different. Majority of the non ignorant people are NOT* wrong; just a matter of perspective. Tyla ain't wrong either. To me Tyla ain't black but mixed, MGM. I'm American from the USA .....
She is mixed. Facts.
Majority of AmericanB people are still practicing that Jim Crowe. One drop rule and I'm gonna tell you straight up. Blackman like doing this because they are colorist. They prefer everything except for black women. That's why he found himself mad about her answer. Imma need ya'll as black women to stop running to BM's defense. They don't have the same energy when we are attacked
@@Laoriginal718it’s not the simple. The majority of mixed race people in SA aren’t considered colored. Colored people are descendants of mixed people from the 18th and 19th centuries. Similar to the Melungeon in America.
She IS mixed it’s a fact
@@Laoriginal718exactly people act like it’s a debate . Like no that’s what she is
If it’s so difficult then why on earth is she trying to root herself in black American culture 8:29
I’m trying to understand when she did that, she makes amapiano and she collabd with some artists, which culture are you talking about?
@@nikiiim223Exactly. They are so sick with main character syndrome that they somehow managed to make someone else's identity and culture and music all about them?
@@elroyswarts2337 Americans can be the main character in their own culture though. Main Character sickness is centering yourself in another person’s culture.
@@food4thought692which what in this context? Black American culture?
🤦🏾♀️She already explained why she identifies as Coloured.
So? She has to explain it again it’s a interview
@Anonima-Beechthen don’t go to interviews people will ask you the same things
@@nwalden5744 … Clearly she doesn’t.
@@nwalden5744 … and she has a right to decline to answer. 😂y’all really wild about this. This lady don’t owe us an explanation.
@@rainbeauxunicorn5237 Well now her tour is cancelled so I don’t think they’re going to be asking anymore.
Why couldn’t Tyla just answer the question & say that in “South Africa she is considered coloured & that’s what she considers herself to be but she understands that in America race is different & that in America she would be considered mixed”.
Seriously. This was an easy question to answer. She could've used it as a teaching moment.
Because she’s discussed it multiple times before and people send her hate every time. You would also get tired of people sending you hate for explaining and refusing to reject your racial identity.
Exactly it takes seconds
@@adfmo2195she don’t care to teach she waned to use us
@@iluvbwxcelebs bigger than her repeated themselves constantly she’s no better
I'm a coloured South African myself and think she should have said something about it
So her words can be twisted and used against her by those who already hate her anyway?
She’s done it already several times. They wanted her to speak about it so that they can stir controversy. That radio show host is mediocre.
Tyla needs to go hit up Trevor Noah who is also South African, for advice. Because she is ruining her career. Also hire some Black Americans for your PR team. If you want to do business in other countries, you need people on your team who speak and understand the local language. Tyla you better smarten up and get better representation because your team is clueless.
Maybe she should get out black spaces since she's so bothered about being black. Simple as that. She's colored so go to colored spaces.
But she doesn't need black American validation, she's got a South African style, she doesn't need to mimick Black Americans. The people cutting her a check in the US are white.
Exactly !!!!! She don’t want that she wants to us use for money that’s it
No no don't suggest using actual black ppl as her steps to stardom she needs to go back to south Africa or do something else because she is colored or mixed not black colored is equivalent to mixed race as an African would be equivalent to being black in America they arent the same and frankly black Americans are tired of being the stepping stools for other races while we stay and get pushed to the bottom bad advice. She should be true to her non black self
How is it not clear that Tyla is NOT AMERICAN? Why are black Americans in their feelings over someone else's culture?
@@elroyswarts2337 Why is she involved with Black American culture to begin with? Beggars can’t be choosers. We can set our own rules. It’s y’all in your feelings. We’re at home minding our Black American business.
The publicist messed up, Tyla should not have to turn around for the publicist to wake up and intervene. If she reacted straight away it would’ve been a different story.
Her team probably told her to shut up about it but they are not good at handling it
Tyla isn't Black, and the vast majority of Black Americans can see and understand this.
This issue that Black Americans are having with Tyla is that, even though she isn't black, she's still being forcefully put into Black spaces and being given (and accepting of) opportunities made by Black Americans for Black Americans.
I think most African people can't understand why it's important to know someone's race identity coz we don't have such issues. For tyla she is colored and she doesn't mind oor it's not an issue to her anyway
Tyla is classified as black in Africa.
I noticed the vast majority of black Americans are narrow minded when it comes to worldly issues and the fact that we are very diverse.
What opportunity has she taken from a black American?
@@nemotheo1629that’s a a lie it’s huge race issues in Africa and yall let whites walk all over yall there
The thing is most if not all of you black Americans aren't black but generational mix just like the coloured community in SA. You range from completely being dark in complexion to looking like white people. Tyla does fit into the black community over there. She still has a Zulu ancestry and can wear the traditional attire if she wants.
And to be clear most black Americans understand the racial breakdown of SA… however in the U.S. ‘colored’ is a white racial slur at this point, it’s an insult… in the U.S. it’s meant as unclean, not pure. It was literally over bathrooms, water fountains, bus stops, it was used to dehumanize.
So you "understand the racial breakdown of SA" yet you keep asking stupid questions and you get mad at Tyla for refusing to answer? Please explain why?
@@elroyswarts2337 they are using it as an excuse to hate on her. its envy and jealousy
@@elroyswarts2337 I ain’t ask her not a damn thing… I’ve simply provided context to the situation in response to the video. The man said “school me” she missed an opportunity to provide an authentic answer from her own mouth for the ppl who do have the question. It’s no different than an interviewer asking an American about the region they are from. She can refuse anything she wants but understand the arena she’s in wanting to be successful. And you need to calm down.
@@franckkouakou-df1ti Who is they? Y’all gotta relax I’ve simply provided context for the commentary of the video.
@@elroyswarts2337 If she wants to continue to make $$$ and be successful in these American entertainment streets she better go get some media training… this is true for all artists. Doesn’t matter the question…learn how to refuse the question(s) in a cheeky way… welcome to American entertainment. I didn’t create it, but I understand it.
I'm South African - nationality coloured - race!!!
No it's not derogatory to me!! Fok weet!!
i hate how yall say american/african americans need to be aware of different cultures and stuff but when someone from a different country says the n word its “oh well they didn’t know” or “how would they know what that word meant” but americans not knowing the south african racial categories & suddenly we’re just culturally insensitive & stupid when that’s a whole different country that we honestly dont learn too much about
@@solarsystems4394 They know anything about our culture except how to copy it. That’s why the doors to the culture are closing. I did like Tyla at first but the SA fans rudeness and her ignorance turned me all the way off.
Imagine skipping Normani for Tyla 🤦🏾♀️
Normani missed her shot. She's had 6 years to get herself out there and put put music and she let her team delay her. She missed the boat, that's not Tylas fault.
There's no comparison. Normani is a triple threat. I listen to Wild Side every other day. I've never listened to this other person.
@@lookatyou5809 Normani had to take time off to help her parents with their cancers, so stfu
or even arya starr
@Anonima-Beechit's because normani is actually black hence this debate tyla isn't but some wanna claim her so badly and this is exactly why I won't because actual black women instantly are over looked and suddenly don't measure up
She's considered mixed in the USA, too. 🤷🏽♀️ That was such a strange response to the question.
Why isn't she growing her career and signed to a label in South Africa? 🤔
Trying to get popularity in the USA promoted towards Black Americans for money. Interesting
But she is being marketed in SA too, Africa even 😂😂
Exactly because we offer more money her own country don’t care about her

Destiny I think you’re mistaken…Tyla is in AMERICA trying to appeal to Black Americans on Black American media/publications, she needs to understand us & what is acceptable in America, not the other way around.
Yes 💯
This!!!
And this is why you lose everytime. You aren't accepting that someone has a different reality because it bothers you. It's time to relaise America isn't the world. Tyla can be a hit in just Africa and be just fine.
That's what she needs to do then❤@@lookatyou5809
That’s pretty America-centric..
Y’all can clearly see she’s mixed “coloured’ so what exactly is the point of asking?
American and South African cultures are different and Americans need to understand that…
let her promote her music and keep it pushing
@@Ewoma_OD No we don’t have to understand anything. The point of asking is that we’re doing quality control on what and who comes in. Especially since we now know how nasty you all can be towards BA.

@@Ewoma_OD It’s so weird yet your country people stay trying to belong. 🙄What’s weird is commenting on what BA should do in their own spaces. Take your own advice and keep it pushing.
Why is this even a conversation 🤦🏽♀️
I'm sick of non Black American people trying to tell Black American people how to feel about other ethnicities using our culture and the spaces we've created in *our country* . We've sacrificed and worked hard for this. Not you guys. And to use us and have the audacity to be anti-Black and prejudice towards us is abhorrent and won't be tolerated. Tyla using Black American culture to create a career for herself is the issue. She's being marketed in the US in Black American spaces with Black American artists. If she stayed in SA, this wouldn't be a conversation. If she used SA culture and music styles to build her brand it wouldn't be an issue. Americans love diversity in music. I personally love Lucky Dube, Brenda Fassie, and anything Amapiano. Amapiano is big right now, globally, but then again it's a BLACK/AFRICAN SA movement, not a colored SA one. Lol. Maybe coloreds in SA need to create their own culture and create careers utilizing that.
If you complain about non-black Americans using Black-Culture ( Music ) to get rich …please start with Half-White girls ( mixed girls who are the face of female Rap Music ) ( Ice Spice, Latto, Doja Cat and Cardi B and many more ) go complain there first they aint black themselves….and yes Tyla is not black she is Multiracial or biracial just like the other females who are replacing actually real black women in the music industry…Tyla happens to be biracial from another country to exploit black culture..Doja Cat and her half white behind is doing the same thing…
I'm Southern African and I agree with everything you said, except she is incorporating alot of SA style into what she's doing. She sounds distinctly different from US artists.
Then Black Americans should stop forcing mixed people to identify as black when they clearly aren’t.
@Anonima-Beech I have yet to see an Indian woman or man wear cornrows... You thought you did something. 😂
@@steviesosa5617But she does look indian honestly though 🤷🏾♀️
Honestly, she doesn’t have to address it. I see more people interested in what color is and how it works, but her ignoring it will rub people the wrong way. people weren’t feeling to interview in the beginning because people felt she was getting distance towards Americans. I just don’t want another war against Africans vs. Americans. I’m literally both myself, and I see how both sides can be crazy.
I think Americans are tired of getting people marketed towards them as black, even though they're not and don't like black people or black Americans in general. It seems there's no space for mono-racial, non-ambiguous black people. She should receive no hate at all. She should proudly say she's colored, I'm black African in America, and stand for her identity, but I don't understand why non-American people come to America. Don't expect people to be confused or rubbed the wrong way. I mean, do you see what's going on? I mean, if this were the other way around, y'all wouldn't be happy.
Her target audience is America; she wants to be the biggest pop star, but if you haven’t made it in America, you haven’t made it yet(not true btw). You have to respect your mother, but we also can respect her and would like it in return.
This conversation getting anywhere though. I hope for peace for both countries ☺️
So her being coloured just means that she doesn't like black Americans or she's anti black? How so?
She can be “colored” all she wants we won’t call it that. That’s a very loaded word in America and she needs to adapt to our vocabulary. She’s mixed here. Plain and simple.
I just want her to have an old southern yt person call her a "colored gal". I think if she experiences that she may feel differently.
What race is she? There are only 3 races, regardless of where she's from. Whatever her Mother is, that's what she is. Just answer the question!
this. they try to make black americans sound ignorant for not adapting to another persons country/society. if you want to be influential in america maybe follow american society. the hostility from her fans is such a turn off and will not help her become as established here as she wants to be
She does not need to adopt anything, America’s not the world, not everyone has to use the terms that you use
@@nikiiim223, when it comes to music, America might as well be “the world” because we have the largest music industry and most artists who want to “make it” try to cross over into the American charts. It’s very telling that Tyla signed to an American label instead of a South African label. It seems that even she recognizes that being marketed in America matters the most for the success she wants.
We all know what she is and what she's classified as in her home country, however, respecting the rules of the country that's boosting your career is also important. No one is denying that she's "colored" in South Africa and quite frankly, no one here truly cares. The issue is that she's being marketed strategically to blk people in America, knowing absolutely well that our support translates into money. At this point, a lot of us are fed up with being used to grow the careers of people who don't even identify with us. They will use us for support, money and clout but get offended when someone calls them blk. We don't care that she's colored, and given our history, she shouldn't expect any of us to call her that either. Shout out to Trevor Noah, who did his homework before coming to the US. He took no offense being referred to as blk even though he's biracial.
Cause yall stay calling biracial people black when they are not. To say we don’t care is a lie because the black community was screaming she was a black woman and she isn’t
@@nwalden5744I agree with you
Tyla and Trevor Noah are two different people. Trevor is biracial and Tyla is a multi generational mix. Clearly you guys have selective hearing or just completely ignorant because if you heard what Trevor said we South Africans wouldn't be here trying to explain to you or you guys harrassing Tyla to educate you about her race. Tyla never denied her black ancestry. She has always mentioned that she was Zulu as well as Irish and Indian. Just say you hate the girl and stop looking for insignificant reasons to hide behind.
Being happy that Trevor Noah chose to deny his white father and identify as black rather than biracial, or Mulatto, which is what he is is sick. It also shows how much of a coward Trevor Noah is for denying his own father in order to appease black supremacists in America who would be angry with him if he dared to ever admit that he is actually biracial.
@@karma-queenofflames376 They don’t get that beggars can’t be choosers. We have our own thing going. They need to gain support from groups that they respect.
Tyla should be told about Keri hilson and tinashe, careers are not that easy to maintain
Stuff like this makes me scared shtless to have children even though I’ve always wanted a family. I didn’t choose to have a white mom and black dad. I grew up in a mostly white community and was never fully accepted for being black. Black people will NEVER accept that I’ve experienced the same exact discrimination and racism as “100%” black Americans. Only Black Lives Matter, if you’re mixed you get treated worse than a stray dog. Called derogatory terms like “exotical” and the disgusting narrative that we have an advantage in dating… I’m 33, childless, and men treat me just as horrible as the black community. I pray that one day we’ll stop shaming people for the color of their skin and judge people based on their actions. But that’s not happening in my lifetime
🫂🫂🫂
Good grief ( In my Charlie Brown voice) give the girl some grace. She’s new to the industry, who’s perfect when they’re new at something? Also, it would be helpful that some people would realize that it’s not just your culture that matters.
Tyla was mostly influenced by American music culture and she admitted that. She clarified that she is classified as coloured in S.A. and she understand the dynamics of American culture, especially Black American culture pertaining to this issue. For that reason, she cannot prescribe to the Americans how to classify her in their own country in terms of their culture there. Weather they classify her as black or mix race is up to them, no problem. That can never change who she is in terms of South African context. Why people cannot understand this is shocking. Tyla need good representation from us as South Africans and Africans at large, for her own good. She represent all of us in the continent on the global stage. She admired the American culture in terms of their music from younger age. She is now in America to fullfil her childhood dream. Can she now be advised by us South Africans to deny and refuse the black American culture in America, which influenced her music in the first place, come on. The impression that she refuse Black American culture is wrong perception and must be corrected.😊
This is silly… he said “school me”… she missed an opportunity to answer the question in her own words and what it means to her. Trevor Noah navigated this fine when he began working in the U.S. If she’s proud of her identity just answer the question authentically.
So simple , her team made it so hard . Ex: " My name is Tyler , my parents are both SA . In SA, i identity as Colored . In America, i identity as Black . " # case closed # no controversy # no multiple think pieces on her identity 😅 Why , why , would they allow her to interview, without the answer to the number one question ?🤔# it's a scheme that Todd set up 😂🎉
What do some people think that they need her for anyway?
She was cancelled for me before this, she don't fw us, let's endorse who does. Move on
Exactly!!! I never supported Tyla.
She is not black, so why would she.
@@loveyourselffirst549 Because she's using Black American culture to create a career for herself. She's being marketed in the US in Black American spaces with Black American artists. If she stayed in SA, this wouldn't be a conversation. If she used SA culture and music style to build her brand it wouldn't be an issue. Amapiano is big right now, but then again it's a BLACK/AFRICAN SA movement. Maybe coloreds in SA need to create their own culture and create careers from that.
Question is why are black Americans mad she won't say she's black when shes not??? 😅😅. The rest of the diaspora really look at you crazy when you still claim mixed people as black. When will you move on from the one drop rule and start gatekeeping black culture then this wouldn't be an issue.
Right I never did like her....she was too cocky... cute girl indeed but every time I see her speak I get rubbed the wrong way ..ion like her personality it's too diva....she say she confident but its off putting
She's a South African in America. She should respect her target audience enough to educate herself on the culture.
Even when "educating herself on the culture" amount to erasing her own identity? What the hell does her identity and culture has to do with yours?
@@elroyswarts2337 , the term she uses from her culture to describe her heritage is a racial slur in America where she is trying to sell music. We do not want that racial slur being brought back as a common use term over here because it has a tumultuous and painful history. So, the way she talks about her own terminology does matter here because she is attempting to make it okay in a country that it is not and people have a right to tell Tyla that we don’t like that.
@@nanostar7660 Black Americans are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. They get triggered by the word "coloured" yet go around calling each other the n - word.

Let's be clear about one thing: this is not about the word "coloured." Actually they don't really have a problem with the word "coloured." They hate Tyla not because of the fact that she REFERS TO HERSELF as coloured. They hate her because she is beautiful and talented but mostly because she is showing that it is actually possible to be a world class entertainer and pop star without using anything that is American. She is an African artist doing African music. As much as they like to accuse everyone of cosplaying or copying them, she is showing that it is possible to be African and not have to speak or act or dance like them and still be successful and popular. That is what they can't stand. They hate her because of who she is and because of what she brings to the table. It is something that they do not have, so they can't accuse her of copying them or cosplaying them.

Why no videos from South Africans defending Tyla? Why only show Americans attacking Tyla? Is Tyla not South African? Do South Africans not deserve a hearing as well? I'm disappointed in you Destiny.
Can someone explain what’s the difference between coloured and mixed race?
In America we would consider coloured (South African racial category) = mixed (American racial category). Some Americans might even consider coloured = Black American.
It's just stupid period. We blacks in America used to be considered colored folk. I think people just want to be in controversial conversation. We shouldn't need to be categorized by our ethnic makeup anyways unless in need for medical information.
@@naimamorgan6209 yes, thus the controversy. The term colored to Black Americans has negative connotations due to the history of slavery in America. Unfortunately this is the real world & we must live in reality & the reality is that people all over the world are categorized by their racial and/or ethic makeup whether you agree with it or not.

@@Laoriginal718 they never did that at all 😂
The main issue is that Americans are ignorant of other cultures. Racism and consequently racial classifications developed distinctly in each country because of each nation’s unique history of colonialism, slavery, and ethnic/racial oppression. Therefore, the evolution of our racial designations are different here in the US than they are in Brazil than they are in South Africa. “Colored” is a racial, state-sponsored designation in South Africa. It also used to be the state-sponsored designation for blacks in the US. When African Americans hear that word though, they erroneously link it to the American usage of the word instead of recognizing the South African context. I’ve even heard Americans call blacks in other countries “African Americans”. 🤦🏽♀️
That’s not the issue. The real issue is that she is trying to break into the biggest music market in the entire world, America, while not being mindful that we don’t like the term for how she is classified. If she wants to be an international artist and an international artist with an audience in America, she needs to change it to make it more culturally sensitive and change the words she refers to herself as because she is now appealing to Americans and the west which does not lake the word used for racial classification in South Africa.
There’s a certain symbol that means peace in Hinduism but means hate in Germany and much of the rest of the world. A person can’t use that symbol as part of their brand and claim it means peace and try to market themselves in countries that have a long and tumultuous history with that symbol. They would have to change it. Same thing here with racial classifications.
Yeah, except African Americans aren't "ignorant" of this. In America, the narrative of race, especially when it comes to blackness, is influenced by the One Drop rule. The One Drop Rule dictates even if you only have one drop of black blood in you, you're forced to be considered black.
The issue that Black Americans have is that Tyla isn't black, yet she's being put in black spaces and given opportunities meant for black people because of the One Drop Rule.
if tyla is trying to break into the American market, shouldn’t SHE explain & take the time to learn how americans use terms?? why are americans the only people who are seen as culturally ignorant?? like wtf
South Africans who are not colored don’t understand the concept fully, why would Americans need too? She will be a one hit wonder globally, because of her messy ass fan base.
I agree with you
As a South African the race issue when it comes to Tyla is genuinely so annoying. She is coloured simple. Saying she’s mixed erases her actual culture. Trevor Noah is mixed , Tyla is not. Western views need to be decentered , the world is so big and we don’t need to bend ourselves to make others happy. Also she’s been on other shows that don’t cater to a majority black audience so it’s also disingenuous to say that.
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colored simply means mixed so how is that “erasing her culture”? And Trevor Noah is Biracial if you really wanna compare.
this would be valid if she wasn’t trying to market and exist in the western world. she can do her thing in SA but don’t come to the american music industry with your hand out trying to infiltrate black american culture and spaces
@@TheeTage Western views won’t be decentered in the actual West! Y’all are so xenophobic and aggressive you want to apply it to others. I agree, do not bend and go be successful in places that will allow you to rewrite their history. We don’t need y’all.
She has a Black manager, and he should know how things work here . Everyone knows race is an important topic . Her team may be thinking # controversy sells # any media is good media 🤔
Okay, so unpopular opinion:
The woman at 7:45, I highly disagree with her. Tyla doesn't have to answer the question about her race because in her country, in her culture, they don't view race the same way that Americans do. And to continue to ask this girl the same question over & over when she's just there to promote her album is disrespectful!
Nobody gives a crap about "what the people want to know!" Its not the peoples business what her race is! This woman is South African! A mix of African, probably Indian, etc! The word "colored" in South Africa doesn't have the same negative connotation as it does here in America! The word "colored" in America goes back to racism and Jim Crow laws, etc. The same can't be said for South Africa!
How in the world does that make her "difficult" to work with just because she doesn't want to CONSTANTLY talk about her race and her definition of "colored", as it pertains to her culture??? To my understanding, "colored" in South Africa means mixed or biracial, if I'm not mistaken.
The girl at 8:00 was spot on. 💯
In what way, other than what colored means, is the view of race so different? If I remember correctly natives are still being treated horribly by wte SA’s even after apartheid, which only ended in the freakin’ 90s
One day every one will know the differences amongst race, ethnicity, and nationality.
Nope, never gonna happen. Especially when there are people out there who are looking at the world in rose colored lenses and thinking everyone is a melting pot singing Kumbaya.
She could have used that interview as a teaching moment. She could have said I am mixed, in South Africa I am coloured and that is how I identify. Her management team is the problem.
@@elizabethrose5007 Yep we love Trevor over here. A lot of these artists and their teams are not that bright. They also resent BA for our accomplishments in music.
8:45 it’s not hard thought she answered it before
Her team should change the marketing strategy. They shouldn’t focus on “black music” and black audience in the US. Black Americans roughly make up 15% of the whole population and they do not have the strongest purchasing power. I would straight up market her more globally. If a mixed or multiracial person cannot be considered white why would it be okay to automatically be classified as black? It’s ridiculous and disrespectful. Mixed and multiracial people do not experience race issues the way a non ambiguous black person would. Africans are well aware of that.
America and the 1drop rule 😂😂😂😂😂
Please be specific USA, because I am from America as well but South America and we are not stupid and dumb like them
