Quote from: Lucid Salvatore on August 09, 2025, 02:23:40 PMThe only thing Tyla has done wrong so far in her career was that interview on The Breakfest Club.
When Charlamagne asked her about her injury and she said "Ehhh why you wanna know?"
and then when he asked her about the Colored comment and her publicist stepped in and said "we're not answering that"
I know a lot of Black American women were pissed that she ignored the topic. Many Black women in the US stopped supporting her after that interview. I understand why, because race is such a sensitive topic to discuss... but she should've said something rather than nothing at all. She just had to keep it short and simple... "I know the term Colored has a negative historical connotation here in America, but the word doesn't have a negative connotation in South Africa and that's the word we use to describe mixed race people"
i agree they coulda prepped her for it but i also see why they just wanted to skip it. a conversation like that can easily pull someone down into a rabbit hole
.....even if u answer it properly. especially on a show like TBC. charlamagne wants MESS and if u dont give it to him, he'll create it. hbsfbhfhsbsfhbfhbsfhsfs
and tyla is both young AND foreign to America so i can see why she's nervous to tip toe across that type of minefield
plus "Colored" meaning "someone of multi-ethnic/multi-racial ancestry" just opens ANOTHER can of worms , even if you properly explain it.
"BITCH u just Black!

"
or the flip side of that which people have said:
"BITCH why u tryna appeal to Black folks if u not even a real Black person!

dirty Indian bitch! "
it's one of those conversations that she will not win if she steps into the ring, no matter how she throws her punch.
ive seen people say some really nasty things about her and its honestly shocking cuz although she doesn't come off super bubbly, she's not out here tryna cause trouble either.
