Cardi B rallies for Tyla: a bold stand against online trolls
Cardi B defends Tyla against internet trolls amid resurfaced online criticism. Image: Instagram Cardi B has spoken out in support of Tyla after the South African star found herself on the receiving end of another wave of online hate. Between last year's VMA controversy and the current wave of backlash, Cardi B's stance has remained the same. During a late-night X Spaces (formerly Twitter Spaces) stream, the rapper expressed her frustration at what she described as 'straight up disrespectful' treatment of artists online, using Tyla as a prime example. 'Look at Tyla,' she said during the livestream. 'People been dragging the s*** out of Tyla, and it's like, the girl doesn't even address or talk about anything.' She added that she feels the internet has developed an unhealthy obsession with tearing celebrities down. 'It's like the only way that people like celebrities is if you don't say anything at all,' she said. Video Player is loading.

'Every single time I scroll down on my TikTok, there's a video of her and people are talking s***, and it's like, goddamn, what do you want her to f***ing do? Cut her f***ing veins?' Cardi B defends TYLA. As she should!! — TYLA_Tygrs 🐅✨(Fancount) (@Tyla_Tygrs) August 13, 2025 Once again, Tyla has recently been under heightened scrutiny on social media, particularly after a TikTok video where a creator pointed out that Tyla has not 'quite connected with the US audience'. The creator further noted that her 'We Wanna Party' mixtape has not reached greater heights when it comes to numbers despite Tyla being 'heavily marketed'. In 2024, the 'popiano' princess spoke publicly about the debate over her racial identity following an uncomfortable exchange in a recent interview. i guess one day the girls will learn… idkkk — 𓆩♡𓆪 GODS FAVORITE 𓆩♡𓆪 (@soulaaangel) August 10, 2025 While appearing on 'The Breakfast Club Show' on iHeartRadio, host Charlamagne tha God asked her to clarify what she meant when she described herself as 'coloured.' In South Africa, the term refers to people of mixed-race heritage, but in the United States, it is widely regarded as an offensive slur. This sparked renewed debates about her ethnic identity, leading American netizens to question why Tyla's music has not been charting, attributing this to a lack of support from the American Black audience. Recently, the 23-year-old Grammy-award-winning artist addressed the controversy over her ethnicity in an interview with "Variety". 'I don't expect to be identified as coloured outside of South Africa by anyone not comfortable doing so because I understand the weight of that word outside my country. But to close this conversation, I'm both coloured in South Africa and a black woman,' she asserted. This is not the first time Cardi B has come to Tyla's defence. Last year, she called out internet users for what she described as bullying, after the multi-award-winning artist was criticised for asking Lil Nas X to hold her Video Music Award (VMA) during her acceptance speech after she won.
