South African-born star Tyla left no room for subtlety as she unabashedly poked fun at Americans for their accents. During a recent radio appearance where her own way of speaking came into question, Tyla gave a book-worthy response. Online users resonated with pride, drawing comparisons between Tyla and fellow South African star Thuso Mbedu, amplifying the sense of national unity and amusement. We love you Tyla.
After having conversations about race and culture with people from America, Tyla has gained a lot of attention in the past few days. But here’s something interesting: there are folks who don’t want to call her “colored.”
In a hilarious radio interview, she was captured on audio telling her presenters that they sounded like a movie and that their accent was thick when they inquired about hers.
