Tyla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The past week has been all Tyla, all headlines. Fresh from her much-hyped Coachella 2025 performance where she revealed the remix of her hit single live and debuted the new track Bliss, Tyla is pushing boundaries and drawing global attention. According to Variety, Tyla is making it clear she’s not a product of the pop machine, focusing her image on authenticity as she readies her second album—a project she claims will have a totally different vibe. She’s riding the wave of her Grammy win for Best African Music Performance, still the youngest African to ever take home the award, and she isn’t letting up.
Her latest EP, We Wanna Party, dropped July 25 and is built around movement and dance—echoing what fans loved from her breakout Amapiano sound. Wizkid features on the energetic title track, and outlets like Just N Life report Tyla herself has called it a phase of creative experimentation, sidestepping the pressure of a full album and reveling in rhythmic log drum-heavy beats. Bliss stands out as the love song of the EP, opening a window into Tyla’s more vulnerable side, while the rest is pure party. She’s making a statement not just musically but culturally, insisting in interviews and on stage at the VMAs that Amapiano—a genre born in South Africa—is not Afrobeats and deserves its own recognition.
Social media has been on fire. Tyla just became only the second South African artist ever to net two billion Spotify streams, joining rock outfit Seether, as reported by her team on Instagram. But with visibility comes backlash: in recent days, Tyla has faced a torrent of hate online. Cardi B, never one to stay quiet, launched a heated defense of Tyla on August 13, telling haters enough is enough, as covered by iHeartRadio and amplified by Pop News Now. The support from Cardi, as well as fellow artists, has only fueled Tyla’s momentum and cemented her place among Africa’s top exports.
On the business side, new collaborations are brewing: culture account CultureCollecter revealed Tyla will appear on Teyana Taylor’s anticipated album alongside Jill Scott. Meanwhile, her joint single with Wizkid, Dynamite, is dominating Afrobeats charts, Billboard and Hits Daily Double calling it the biggest debut of the year in its genre. Tyla doesn’t seem fazed by drama or miscategorization in awards—she goes out of her way to recognize fellow African stars like Ayra Starr and Tems, and keeps highlighting her South African roots.
Major headline: Tyla takes charge of global pop, confronts backlash with Cardi B in her corner, and sets new streaming records, all while pushing Amapiano to the forefront and signaling a new era for African stars. Unconfirmed rumors of further celeb collaborations persist, but for now, Tyla’s every public move is defining her legacy—and the music world is definitely watching.
