Social media is buzzing with warnings for Grammy award-winning singer Tyla after a video clip surfaced of her with record producer DJ Maphorisa.
Although the clip is from Maphorisa and Kabza De Small’s London show in 2022, speculations have ignited that the two artists are working on music together. But Tyla’s fans are not exactly thrilled about this potential collaboration.

Maphorisa, also known as Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe, is currently caught up in a feud with DJ and podcaster MacG over-exploitation claims.
The record producer and label boss recently took to Instagram to assert his ownership of any music recorded in his studio. He made it clear that when artists use his computer, studio, and electricity, the music belongs to him.
These revelations have sparked a debate about Maphorisa’s business practices, further fueling rumours of artist exploitation. In light of this controversy and the video featuring Tyla, fans have taken to social media to throw some witty shade at the DJ.

“Don’t eat the Nandos, Tyla!! Use your own laptop, electricity, and microphone,” one concerned fan warned. Another user chimed in, jokingly saying, “Then she gets nothing 😂 after him buying McDonald’s and a cold drink in the studio.” And of course, there’s the fan who hopes Tyla has her own studio.
