Tyla is celebrating the release of her new album A*POP despite some gossip around her name these days. On social media platforms like TikTok, rumors have been spreading concerning cheating allegations concerning her, A$AP Rocky, and Rihanna, which she may have responded to online.
"Imma leave every rumor to rock from now on," the singer allegedly wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. "Have fun yall. #APOP." While there isn't any explicit confirmation of what this means, fans connected the dots and theorized it may have to do with the rumors surrounding her and the celebrity couple.
For those unaware, this all stems from the South African artist wearing jewelry that Verdy made for Rocky, which may have been when she went to Japan. The Drip Instagram page had covered this months ago, but TikTok videos have gone viral claiming this suggests cheating. Folks also included pictures of the Harlem rapper wearing the pieces.
Also, this is notable due to previous viral stories regarding Tyla and Rihanna. Some fans believe the former is playing into accusations that she's biting the latter's style or replacing her, although this is just social media speculation.
Tyla's Met Gala Moment With Rihanna
The two had an awkward moment at the Met Gala earlier this year, in which the Johannesburg native tried to talk to the Barbadian star to poor results. "I met her. But I think she was occupied," Tyla said of the moment later. "I went up to her and was like, ‘Oh, hey,' you know? And she was like, ‘Hey, um… my baby daddy’s calling me,’ and then she left. I was like, 'Oop!'"
Tyla has addressed other viral moments before, some to sympathetic results and others in ways that fans felt she should've kept to herself. Still, it's only up to her to decide when to speak out, and how. The singer addressed her spat with Yung Miami recently, claiming she didn't steal "Chanel" from her and showing the former City Girl love.
As for the couple in question here, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are doing just fine, and probably have nothing to say about these rumors beyond simple denial. In this situation, it seems like a jewelry misinterpretation led to more drama than it warranted... If Tyla really did respond to this rumor, that is.
