Tyla in Trouble as Yung Miami Claims Song Theft

It is music drama across continents. American rapper Yung Miami says South African star Tyla stole her song.

The drama started after Tyla shared a teaser of her new single Chanel on social media.

Yung Miami quickly claimed that Tyla took the idea from her.

She said she had played her own unreleased track, also called Chanel, for Tyla before the teaser appeared online.

The rapper said she felt hurt and disappointed after seeing the clip.

She explained that it was painful to watch another artiste release something she believed was hers.

When a fan asked who she was talking about, Yung Miami confirmed it was Tyla.

Her accusation has caused a storm online, with fans arguing about who came up with the idea first.

Some people say it is a case of coincidence, while others believe it shows the growing tension between African and African-American artistes over originality and influence.

Tyla has not yet responded to the claims.
