Tyla Claps Back at Online Critic Over Bikini Photos, Wins Fans’ Support

Award-winning singer Tyla, known for her hit track “Push 2 Start”, is no stranger to online trolls. Recently, she found herself at the center of criticism for her choice of beachwear during her festive holiday in South Africa. Despite the negativity, Tyla’s sharp retort and confident fashion choices have garnered praise from her fans.

Tyla’s Beach Snap Sparks Online Debate

Tyla returned to South Africa in December to unwind with her family and share some sun-kissed moments with her followers. One of her social media posts, featuring her in a bikini at the beach, quickly caught attention. In the post, Tyla playfully captioned the images: “Looking like a tourist in my country.” While many fans applauded her for embracing her body and enjoying the holiday, not everyone was impressed.

One user, @ShiloteW, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disapproval, sarcastically suggesting, “Tyla why don’t you just walk naked in public, seems like you hate clothes.” Unfazed, Tyla responded with a sharp comeback: “You want me to wear a onesie on the beach? Stfu.”

Her no-nonsense reply quickly gained traction, and the critic was forced to apologize, writing: “Sorry😭.”

This isn’t the first time Tyla’s fashion choices have sparked conversation. Earlier in the year, she faced backlash for a bold outfit at an awards show. Critics argued that the look was too revealing, but Tyla has continued to embrace her individuality and confident self-expression.

In an industry where image is everything, Tyla has made it clear that she won’t be swayed by negativity and will continue to embrace her personal style.

Tyla’s fans were quick to back her up, with many commenting on how refreshing it is to see a celebrity unapologetically own their look. One fan wrote, “Woushhhh, imagine starting your 2025 with the joburg baddie telling you to stfu. I hate it for you 😂.” Another added, “I’m here for the clap backs!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Yasss, Queen 🙌.”

Her supporters are cheering her on for confidently standing her ground in the face of criticism.

Tyla’s handling of online trolling is a testament to her confidence and individuality. As the singer continues to rise in the music industry, her bold fashion choices and unfiltered responses have only cemented her status as a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the stage.
