Lol, no. I don't know how Zulus look or are supposed to look in terms of physical features. I wonder why you thought she's Zulu 🤔. She's Swati or from Swaziland. A small country ruled by a king that is within South Africa, if you didn't listen to the video. Additionally... (Fun fact: there are 2 countries within South Africa called Lesotho and eSwatini/Swaziland)

@@vernonjadams2445 yeah that's obvious, I also eat sushi, curry etc... Doesn't make it my CULTURE. That's the message here if you listened.

@@genevaxo you clearly have selective comprehension... Rihanna identifies as black and proudly so, she did not keep quiet at the breakfast club after being asked what coloured is, because she (Tyla) was clearly told it was 'bad for business to talk about being coloured ' as she is being advertised as a black girl in Hollywood. She only leaned on us because it is beneficial not because that is what she identifies as - typical coloured behavior . And people like Trevor Noah and Rihanna know they are mixed but they grew up in black homes with black mothers and culture. Stop acting blind.

@@taticalypso-halls2261 Oh really? That's probably why they had 6 questions they didn't want asked (according to Charlamagne) on the breakfast club which included the, "who she's dating question and the coloured question"... makes sense huh? So he dated Sho Madjozi and thought not to for Tyla?🤔 No bro, we know how Hollywood gets down. But OK, time will tell.

From where did you get all the information ?😂💀🔥

​@@PinkyTheRealLifeBratzDollI've had this nagging feeling that she stole Sho's style. Sho is Tsonga so we know why she wears that skirt (xibelani). Tyla has a lot of looks "inspired" by that exact skirt, especially because she is skinny with no booty. She needs the frills and tassels around her hips to look fuller than she actually is. Anyway, her whole career is based off stolen concepts from the black community.

Amapiano is SA black culture whether you identify with the culture or not (just like hip hop) ... And using our traditional meal as a prop is not respectful ... Black sa culture has never been infused with other races? Stop! Which sa black culture is infused other races? If you don't identify with our culture then what are you girrrl?💀 Corny?

@@PinkyTheRealLifeBratzDoll Hayi sthandwa I don't identity with amapiano, I had no idea if it's even a thing to identity with, I love it though but not part of my culture as a xhosa lady. The pap prop is very questionable no doubt, maybe she loves porridge... there's many ways of making it lol. All I'm saying is stop being gatekeepers of south african art, she's talented let her use her country's creations to rise, it's her right, and shes so proudly south african at that.. Yes our cultures and way of living are slowly but surely infusing. You can't expect kids from multiracial schools to not feed off of each other's cultures, worse these 2000s. Ya'll need to chill let this little girl give Afrobeats a run for it's money, because she's good at amapiano even if you deny her the right.

@@Mystical_Crew_MakhosiI see❤️. No gatekeeping, just defending our culture and about it being appropriated. I guess let's agree to disagree. I can't wait for the world to see/hear Real Amapiano, especially Kamo Mphela.

This is not your culture madam it's south African culture!Tyla happen to be south african. What's your problem... or is it for ngunis or pathos or venda or Tsonga.So stop this nonsense.

Rambow nation is a mere cliche??????

Rainbow nation ya masimba.

You are the SA people I was talking about in the video when I said 50% is blinded (by the image) and probably excited to have amapiano be recognized globally but... The message here is "Culture Vulture"... I didn't say she had to lie if you listened, I said she should show her culture, not lean on ours to be relevant. Maize meal is not coloured culture, yes she said it was a favorite meal but why not show her cultures meals? And why is her sister using our traditional meals as props? I'll tell you why... because being in the black culture /or black adjacent is profitable. Especially in the entertainment industry look at the Kardashians. Yes amapiano is an SA sound but it is a Black SA sound so saying you represent it is a reeeach, again, same as hip hop. There's a lot of appropriation and that is the point. Do you know Sho Madjozi? Do you know how she comes in? Do you know what allegedly happened to her? I'm almost sure you don't. If you did you wouldn't be saying the above. Maybe my delivery was the issue but I'm just standing up for my SA black Culture... Amapiano and is ours has to be represented right and respectfully and the people it came from have the light shown on them - not appropriated. And Uncle Waffles in next, so it's not about "apartheid mentality"

​@@PinkyTheRealLifeBratzDollamapiano is south African culture and Tyla is south African. It's not about been xhosa, Zulu,tswana!

This comment❤, thank you for educating. Unfortunately I'm offended by this video as I'm coloured from JHB, we mixed (with regards to myself I have black and Indian heritage) we grew up eating pap😅 and so did most south africans because its a cultural thing but its also budget friendly, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. I acknowledge the youtubers perspective, however from the sounds of it i doubt she has personally interacted with different coloured groups, therefore group everyone into 1 pot. Furthermore, JHB coloureds are different to those in Durban and even cape town. Eg durban coloureds majorly don't speak Afrikaans, instead they able to speak Zulu. We are different. So thank you for this comment because it's truly offensive and 1 sided.

Looooool she is not giving afrobeats

The Breakfast club sis. The problem with coloureds is that they are caught between white and black and they will choose whichever side that seems to be winning at a particular time. Coloureds that have "kaffir" hair are usually discriminated upon by their communities.

​@QhayiyaCobo-ts9me wow! Ok so now you speak for all Coloureds. Actually I love my Coloured culture a lot and don't feel the need to be anyone other than who I am. Our idiosyncrasies and subculture within the South African rainbow nation. I will very much agree with you that there is a very classist narrative amongst Coloured Saffas but this isn't strictly a Coloured thing. Black upper class South Africans treat poor Black people terribly. Also I'm not sure what your point is. Yes we all know that in South Africa Tyla wouldn't be considered Black but race is a man made construct. Here in the States, they keep asking me if I'm Peurto Rican. I have a Mexican friend who is considered White in Mexico but in the US she is not. The concept of Race is not as Black And White ( no pun intended) If you don't like her music that is one thing. Each to their own. Because music is a very subjective thing. But why feel the need to bring someone down. I personally LOVE her sound and will continue to listen. Yes she blew up really quickly after Water and people hate how famous she got in such a short space of time. But to dedicate a whole segment to bring someone down? It's giving Insecurity.

@@carmenbonanno39 I could care less about her fame. i wouldn't even mind if she was stealing whatever culture but I was trying to shine a light on what the video was saying. You said that the girl in the video was jealous yet in terms of the "culture vulture" criteria she would fall under it. There's nothing wrong with liking her music. Continue to do so. She is just trying to make it as an artist coming from SA. This is really confusing because there are coloureds I know that said they are black but coloured is their culture.

⁠​⁠@@carmenbonanno39 You’re saying a whole bunch of nothing, you’re just a biased, bitter “coloured” who can’t comprehend. It’s giving… mentally delayed.

​@@QhayiyaCobo-ts9me the thing that people forget is that Tyla grew up in a much more intergrated South Africa than for example, I did. Still in the late 90s people of different races in SA were not mixing with each other. High schools were only beginning to mix all races together. So now fast forward 30 years, cultures are blending. Her best friend is a Black Jozi girl and for sure Tyla's influences and style are ingemeng with all the subcultures around her. In fact Jozi unlike Cape Town (even now) is a lot more mixed and blended. So yes there will be overlap of Culture. It's unfortunate that the word Colored in the US is derogatory, but that is not our fault, so now she has to show sensitivity to that because she's on the Global stage . I personally will tell everyone and anyone who asks me here in the States that I am loudly and proudly Coloured. It's a tricky topic and in fact due to the fact that Colonizers labeled us as such, many Coloured people don't want to be called that, and I get that too. So yes you are right it is confusing to many. I just don't get why South Africans want to bring her down, you will never find Nigerians lambasting their stars. It's like the Coloured people who support the All Blacks when the Bokke are playing. Ek verstaan nie.

Some coloureds are descendants of Khoisan.

​@@QhayiyaCobo-ts9me Khoisan are Africans tho. You're just Coloreds. Stop trying to appropriate everyone, be yourselves.

Tyla is Zulu and Mauritian, her ancestors were not slaves. tyla even speaks Zulu as well as her older sister. That’s why she’s proud to claim Africa unlike most other coloureds

​@@Larryllll because they want to benefit

@@Nawal_SA it would’ve been more profitable for her to market her self as Indian or white: like Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana grande or Charlie xcx. Most of her western fans want her to go pop. She’s refusing and sticking to African aesthetics. This shows her authenticity when it comes to her pride in being African

That's cultural appropriation on lock!

We LOVE Tyla!!! And Black Coffee and Casper Nyovest and Uncle Waffles and Jimmy Nevis and Youngsta CPT and many more. It's not Tylas fault that she out of so many talented artist became famous so quickly.

@@carmenbonanno39 this video is saying something else!

I love Tyle ...everybody has their own opinions...

Amapiano is black people culture, Tyla was very adamant that she is not black.

@@bridgetmphogo4847 Hip hip is for the black community and any black person in the diaspora can claim it. Tyla has always disassociate herself from being black so why is claiming to represent the culture

​@KazieD she isn't just black though .she is mixed so why should she claim to be black. When they do and then get accolades that fully black people especially women were supposed to get then it becomes a problem.

@@mzansitrash Stupid take on so many levels. I’m sure you’re trolling! Amapiano is South African culture before being Black culture and Tyla is a South African gyal, born and raised on at least two to three generations. How is not her culture? I’m talking as a Black African of Cameroonian descent and nationality. So no, leave it there.

​@@mzansitrash I thought amapiano was a South African thing?? Like why are we trying to gatekeep enjoyment and art?

btw i also want to add you're so beautiful! not surprised though because many south african women are beautiful with amazing shapes lol.

Thank you. I'm glad you see it. So many people that don't understand our culture and history will take time to get it❤️

Her entire imagine is based on native South Africans?😂😂😂do you know what being coloured actually means in SA? Why would she incorporate "other aspects of her identity such as her Indian heritage"?? She is not Indian. Coloured people have their own culture which overlaps with black culture in South Africa hence why you find yourself being so confused saying stuff like "her entire image is based on the black people of South Africa". There is a big difference between being mixed race and Coloured in South Africa, you guys don't seem to get that. What Indian heritage should she incorporate? she knows nothing about being Indian, all she knows is being coloured..You guys have so much to say about our race relations & how we understand race here forgetting that our history is entirely different from yours.

Just leave tyla olone she is a South African let her be. Stop separation

@@RayOfLetsatsi you are brainwashed and clearly lack critical thinking so i will go easy on you. you are acting like indian people don't exist in SA with their own culture within SA. just say you are desperate for a south african international star so you are willing to let a colored girl steal black south african culture and identity to do so.

Amapiano is SA black culture. Not coloured, white, Indian here in SA or Nigerian. Just like hip hop comes from Black American people.

@@PinkyTheRealLifeBratzDoll Thank-you for educating us on this perspective. I am not from south africa but i like to hear the truth.

Yes we coloureds are not Africans ore black. We coloureds are descendants slaves arived the year 1652 at Capetown Slave Lodge with Dutch and BRITISH slave masters. We are mix with the indigenous Khoi-San slaves. We can not represent african music. We are : Khoi-San slaves Wes African slaves East African slaves Muslim slaves Irish slaves Asian slaves Madagascar slaves Mauritius slaves Zanzibar slaves The British abolished the slavery 1838 The Indians in Durban are the last slaves arived year 1860 and 1810 the British abolished the slavery Tyla should represent us coloureds.

Amapiano is an urban black sound from the ghetto and has nothing to do with coloureds.

@@KazieD so the content creator is right about amapiano

They are gullible to put it short🤷🏽‍♀️ and probably bots.

Yes amapiano must be adopted by everyone but my point is REPRESENTATION... They gave Megan Thee Stallion a Grammy and Nicky (The Queen Of Rap) still has none. Let that sink in... Whether you subscribe or not does not matter to me because I understand that not everyone will like me, I'm not money. And I didn't say only blacks or South Africans can do amapiano... You clearly didn't LISTEN 👂🏽.

Haters? So you think someone who has to carry maize meal in their bag to seem African should be the one to Rep Amapaino?? You probably one of the people who thought that was funny... Sad.
