Tyla and Yung Miami may have ended their luxury beef over a shared interest in receiving gifts from Chanel; however, fans are speculating that the South African beauty is throwing shade at Caresha.
The “Water” singer posted a video of herself dancing to the former City Girls’ new single and though many saw it as an olive branch, a few fans are calling cap despite Caresha reposting the clip to her own Instagram story.
“She playing in her face,” one user commented.
“Miami was beefing with herself because Tyla don’t give one f***,” said another.
Yung Miami has been desperately trying to revive her musical career and took great issue with Tyla releasing her “Chanel” track, claiming that the singer stole the idea after hearing her track on the same subject matter. According to Caresha, she played her song “Take Me To Chanel” for the Grammy winner, who then took the inspiration and ran with it. Tyla’s track and visuals made it into the public eye while Yung Miami’s song snippet became little more than internet lore.
Nonetheless, Caresha seems to have moved on completely from their short-lived beef, focusing instead on her track “Tea Time.” The song originally received mixed reviews from listeners online, but it has since grown a loyal following of people who love it. The catchy hook, ‘you know it’s tea when you see them two fingers touchin’, and Miami’s signature delivery filled with bars featuring all the latest sayings from the dolls, is helping to push the song forward.
She also took a page out of her fellow City Girl JT’s bag with a stripped down track called “Newsflash,” on which she chronicles her rise to the top from humble beginnings. Reminiscent of JT’s track “No Bars” in its raw approach, Miami talks about holding her man down and mentions being 96 Lil Kim on the track while also saying “can’t stop, won’t stop.” Chile.
Well, at least the gworls are no longer fighting… over Chanel.

‘White Iverson’ By Post Malone
With the 10th anniversary of Post Malone’s STONEY comes a resurgence of fans’ favorite song, ‘White Iverson.’ We love that Post Malone songs truly never die, especially on the internet, when we’ve all grown up with him and his music.

The annual Global Citizen Festival made its way to New York City’s famed Central Park this year and featured performances from Cardi B, Tyla, Shakira, Mariah The Scientist and many more.
Though a late addition to the festival’s lineup, Cardi B took on a huge task of delivering a high-energy performance while very pregnant. The Bronx rapper popped up onstage to perform some of her biggest hits as well as tracks from her latest release, Am I The Drama?, much to the audience’s delight.
It’s no secret that Cardi is willing to put in that work even when she’s expecting as she carried out the entire rollout of her first album, Invasion of Privacy, while pregnant with her first daughter Kulture. She also made several appearances while pregnant with her son Wave and has no problem reminding everyone that she can still move that bawdy with a little bump.
Big Bardi wasn’t the only baddie to step out in the name of a good cause. South African starlet Tyla also hit the stage to treat fans to her international style and Afrobeats hits. The global superstar shared a story about how her life changed drastically since the first time she attended the festival when it happened in her home country of South Africa in honor of Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday.
“It’s actually crazy that I’m performing here,” she said. “The first time I came to Global Citizen was when they came to South Africa. And I’m telling you it was a bargain. All I did was fill in a survey and I saw Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Pharrell. I saw Usher’s butt-crack in 3D, I’m telling you. And the fact that I’m on this stage is amazing.”
The petite baddie also made sure to check in on a fan who seemed to be in an emergency situation during her performance. The “Water” singer stopped the show until getting the green light that everyone was, in fact, ok. We love a caring queen!
Mariah The Scientist also took the stage on the evening to perform and was decked out in her GI Jane regalia from the cover of her latest album Hearts Sold Separately.
Fans were treated to a bevy of her hits including “Burning Blue” and, of course, she brought the sexy with a barely there short. It seems that her star is continuing to rise despite her allegiance to her chatty partner, Young Thug.
Colombia’s crown jewel, Shakira, was the headliner on the night bringing her crossover appeal to the Big Apple. Long before international artists were truly given airspace on American radio, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer rose to fame. She collaborated with the likes of Beyoncé, Wyclef Jean and more while always keep herself firmly planted in her Colombian roots. In a city like New York and in a crucial time for immigration and foreign relations, Shakira was the perfect choice to show a united front in the face of division.
Other performers on the night included African artists Arya Starr and Rema as well as Rosé of the K-Pop group Blackpink. Check out the entire show below:
For sports fans, there’s the Super Bowl. For fashion fans, there’s the Met Gala.
Every year on the first Monday in May, Anna Wintour, reigning editor-in-chief and pinnacle of fashion at Vogue, hosts the Met Gala. It’s technically a charity event to raise an egregious amount of money for The Costume Institute…but in reality, it’s an excuse for the biggest celebrities in the world to flaunt looks from the biggest fashion houses in the world.
All we ever get to see from the elusive Gala is the red carpet, but for about three hours the world circulates photos of outfits…judging like they have degrees in fashion and are the next Joan Rivers. But this year’s theme was especially exciting for me.
What was the 2024 Met Gala Theme?
This year’s theme was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, with the focus being “Garden in Time.” A “sleeping beauty” in fashion refers to a piece that is only worn once before being stored away forever. These pieces are often tarnished after they’re worn once.
But as always, there’s a theme within the theme. “Garden in Time” implied nods to nature, which would explain the floral prints and natural elements like mother of pearl and wood. These themes also opened the door for sustainability: reworking and re-wearing pieces that have already existed. Not creating an entirely new costume from scratch.
Once these pieces go on display, they can’t be touched again or they’re considered ruined. While many celebrities weren’t wearing original “Sleeping Beauty” pieces, there were references to vintage collections from classic designers like Versace, Alexander McQueen, and, of course, Loewe.
Loewe happened to be the belle of the ball this year. The hottest brand of 2024 (by far) secured high-profile celebrities like Taylor Russell, Ariana Grande, Dan Levy, Omar Apollo, and more. And not only was everyone wearing Loewe, the craftsmanship and detail was breathtaking in every way.
As I continued to watch notable figure after notable figure grace the famous Met staircase, I continued to wonder where every Met Gala icon was? Where was Rihanna and A$AP Rocky? Blake Lively? Hailey and Justin Bieber? Selena Gomez, perhaps? THE Bella Hadid? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Harry Styles? Billie Eilish and FINNEAS?
Perhaps a few literally slept through the Met Gala this year…but nonetheless, the celebs showed up. And I’m here to critique them.
Best Dressed
Lana Del Rey
Her first Met in six years and Lana Del Rey shines in custom-made Alexander McQueen. She’s on-theme, the embodiment of Mother Nature.
Mona Patel
Of course, this was a Law Roach style. But Mona Patel had, by far, the best dress of the night. The animated butterflies on her arms were magical.
Tyla
Nothing says “Sleeping Beauty” more than a gown made of sand specifically molded to Tyla’s body. She even had to get carried up the stairs in her custom Balmain.
Zendaya
Law Roach, the stylist you are. Zendaya treated the Met stairs as her runway with multiple show-stopping looks.
Kendall Jenner
I mean, the dress literally was only ever worn on a mannequin and fit Kendall Jenner – with no tailoring. That’s fate.
Mindy Kaling
The dress, titled “Melting Flower of Time”, was designed by Gaurav Gupta. It was walking art, stunned.
Harris Reed
Harris Reed is responsible for some of Harry Styles’ most iconic looks…but tonight, they were the moment.
Taylor Russell
Speaking of Harry Styles…Taylor Russell had one of my favorite Loewe pieces. The wood bodice corset contrasted with the gown.
Worst Dressed
Kylie Jenner
I just think she could’ve done more than a vintage bridal look…
Sending her the best wishes for a recovery! Tyla’s injury caused her to cancel her North American tour. The South African singer was set to headline her first tour dubbed Tyla Tour, but announced that all her shows will not be happening anymore.
Tyla first opened up for Chris Brown’s Under The Influence tour in Europe. However, what put her on the map was when she rose to the top of the charts with her song “Water.” The song won the first award for Best African Music Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The song peaked at 7 on the Billboard 100 charts and she also became the youngest South African and the first South African soloist in 55 years to enter the Billboard Hot 100. The song became the forefront single from her album Tyla.
On February 7, 2024, Tyla announced that she will be canceling her North American tour. She mentioned that she was “silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened.” The tour dates spanned from April to May and included a set at both weekends of Coachella. But fear not Tygers, Tyla is anticipated to make a full recovery to perform for shows in the summer.
Read Tyla’s full statement below.
“My Tygers,
All of you know that this moment you have all helped me transform into a reality, has been a life-long dream. I am so grateful and humbled by this past year and the way it’s changed my life.
I can never thank you guys enough for all your loving support, all the joy, the laughter, and the wins!
As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, Its important that I share what I have to share with you today. For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation.
I am absolutely heartbroken to have to say this but as of right now I won’t be able to proceed with the tour.
In consulting with medical professionals it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.
Words cannot describe my frustration at this pivotal point in my career. So please know that my team and I are working diligently on a spectacular show for you as soon as I am recovered and ready to return safely onstage this summer.
For North American headline dates, your tickets will automatically be refunded, for all other territories you will be contacted by your ticket provider regarding options, please keep a look out for new dates and information.
The 66th annual Grammy Awards were last night at the Crypto.com Arena in the not-so-sunny Los Angeles, California. As storms raged outside the arena, I tuned in for close to five hours of red carpet coverage and the sparkling ceremony to watch music’s biggest night and make my own judgments.
At some points agonizing, the Grammys truly take their time. Packing performance after performance, people going well over their speech time, and leaving the main awards for the very end can feel never-ending. However, this year’s Grammy Awards had everything: Taylor Swift announcing a brand new album, Tortured Poet’s Department, Miley Cyrus getting her first two Grammy’s and delivering iconic speeches and performances, nods to Barbie, a visit from Celine Dion and a few controversial decisions.
I mean, even Jay-Z took a shot at the Recording Academy for not giving Beyonce any Album of the Year awards despite having the most nominations. Taylor Swift brought Lana Del Rey on stage while accepting Album of the Year for Midnights to recognize how many artists’ sounds Del Rey’s influenced despite never having won a nomination. The Academy gets it wrong, and often.
Who Won At The 2024 Grammys?
Here are some winners from a few of the main categories, including the top four awards…And may I add that some of my predictions were spot on?
Record of the Year: “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus
Album of the Year: Midnights by Taylor Swift
Song of the Year: “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish and FINNEAS
Best New Artist: Victoria Monet
Producer of the Year: Jack Antonoff
Best Pop Solo Performance: “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus
Best Pop Duo Performance: “Ghost in the Machine” by SZA and Phoebe Bridgers
Best Pop Vocal Album: Midnights by Taylor Swift
Best Pop Dance Recording: “Padam Padam” by Kylie Minogue
Best Rock Performance: “Not Strong Enough” by boygenius
Best Country Album: Bell Bottom Country by Lainey Wilson
Best R&B Song: “Snooze” by SZA
Who Should’ve Won At The 2024 Grammys?
The Grammy Awards are decided by the Academy- a group of voters within the music industry who I sometimes think forget to listen to the music of the nominees. It’s why Jay-Z spoke up while receiving the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, it is quite shocking that Beyonce has never won Album of the Year.
While everyone at the Grammy’s deserves their awards, multiple artists got onstage to say this is not what they make music for. Artists like Miley Cyrus said she felt this happy yesterday because she’s doing it for herself. Taylor Swift thanks her fans, and says she’s happiest when making songs and doing what she loves…but sometimes, the awards gods are fickle.
Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” went home empty-handed, which was another surprise. While GUTS may not be my favorite work of Rodrigo’s, “Vampire” was a chart-topping, viral song that I truly thought would win something. SZA’s SOS album was on top of the Billboard Hot 100 every week but failed to receive a mention in the top categories like Album of the Year.
Lana Del Rey, who’s been nominated upwards of 10 times and wrote one of the best albums in the culmination of her already iconic discography with Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard? Received zero awards throughout the night. In a controversial move, Taylor Swift brought her up on stage so the world can recognize all Lana’s done.
In the Best New Artist category, Ice Spice and Noah Kahan were betting favorites to win…but ultimately, it went to Victoria Monét.
It’s been years since Cyrus has graced any sort of stage, and she didn’t disappoint. Every bit as honest, exciting, and a true rockstar as she’s ever been, Miley Cyrus is one-of-a-kind. From chiding the audience for not singing along to celebrating her first Grammy win during her performance of “Flowers”, you could tell that Miley just wanted to have fun.
She even shared she was doing this performance so she could watch clips of it later…and also admitted to foregoing underwear. It was fun, carefree, and exactly how these award shows should be.
Joni Mitchell
You may wonder how someone with as illustrious a career as Joni Mitchell has never performed at the Grammy’s. Singing a song she wrote at 21 years old, over half a century later, “Both Sides Now” was both moving and refreshing. She’s won nine Grammy’s herself, nominated 18 times, and has inspired the sounds of our favorite artists.
She took folk music and made it her own, and after having to re-learn how to talk (and sing) from a brain aneurysm, no one is more well-respected in the industry than Mitchell.
Luke Combs + Tracy Chapman
Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” dominated the charts this year. One of the most highly covered songs in the world, and Luke Combs put his country spin on it to create a beautiful, acoustic version. It feels almost entirely his own, but his performance with OG Tracy Chapman shows that music is, indeed, art.
The song itself is a timeless classic, with Luke Combs being one of the most talented country vocalists in the game right now and Tracy Chapman reminding us the deep roots of the song.
Other Notable Grammy Moments
It was a crazy night, in all honesty...with too many moments to mention, but there are a few major points to be made:
Killer Mike won three Grammy awards including Best Rap Album, but was immediately arrested at the ceremony
Upon announcing The Tortured Poet's Department, Swifties quickly uncovered a report that ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Paul Mescal, and Andrew Scott's group chat was once called "Tortured Men's Club" - so count your days, Alwyn.
"Water" singer Tyla won the first-ever Award for African Music Performance
South African pop artist Tyla celebrated her 22nd birthday today (January 30) with an interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 (Ch. 2). Speaking with hosts Mack and Jen during her first-ever trip to Miami, Tyla opened up about her hit single, debut album, worldwide tour, and alternate career plans. Listen to the full interview on the SiriusXM app now.
Breakout single “Water”
The lead single from Tyla’s forthcoming debut album, “Water” went viral on TikTok and is now nominated for Best African Music Performance at this weekend’s GRAMMY Awards. Tyla told Mack and Jen that she doesn’t have a speech prepared in case she wins, but that she’s “just grateful to be nominated” and is “excited for the overall night.”
She also expressed her amazement that both Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake have performed “Water.” Janet mixed “Water” with “What Have You Done For Me Lately” during a tour performance and Justin covered the song during his free “superfan” show in Memphis.
“It’s crazy to see how far the song has traveled,” Tyla said.
Debut solo album
Tyla’s self-titled debut solo album is due out next month, and Tyla — who said she couldn’t wait to visit South Beach while in Miami — recommended everyone listen to the album for the first time while on a beach.
The album, she revealed, has been in the works for over two years. “I’m just happy that we’ve gotten to this point. I’m so happy with the way it sounds and I’m excited for people to hear it,” she said.
The success of “Water” has allowed to her travel the world, including Miami. “Ever since I got signed, I left South Africa for the first time,” she explained. “I was in Dubai, Nigeria, London, America. I just feel like I met so many talented people and experienced so many different things and I managed to then put that into the music and make a perfect blend of everything.”

When describing his latest project, Andre 3000 tells GQ Magazine,
“and depending on who they are, you get certain reactions. So I know that’s how the world will react, too. But it’s all positive. It’s kind of like: You may get someone that cries. You may get someone who immediately starts to do yoga. You may get someone that goes to sleep. Then you got the homie that is like, ‘Y’all gon’ put some beats on that shit?’ You get it all, man.”
