Tyla Settles Coloured Debate

Afrobeats recording artist Tyla, who is a coloured woman from South Africa, clarifies her race and nationality after a messy interview with The Breakfast Club...

Since trying to break the American market, Tyla has run into controversy because of the different meaning of coloured in South Africa vs the meaning in the United States, which harks back to the painful era of Jim Crow.

This week Tyla appeared on The Breakfast Club and when Charlamange tha God asked for clarification Tyla declined.
