Tyla's Mumbai performance blasts India's music scene

Tyla brought heat to the stage for her Indian fans as she honoured her roots while dressed in a steamy fit for her debut.

As the 23-year-old singer has an Indian heritage, Tyla made sure to thrill her fans with a performance they might never forget.

The Grammy winner artist left fans drooling as she dressed in a lemon top, paired with a bedazzled, black shorts.

However, her "bindi" as an accessory and “MUMBAI” shining on her straight hair won hearts.

Her performance videos instantly went viral with admirers gushing over her look. One of the Instagram users complimented Tyla: “I’m starting to feel jealous now.”

Another netizen noted in the comment section: “The aura loss id get if I tried to imitate her.”

While several criticised her for cultural appropriation, die-hard admirers reminded the online community about her Indian heritage.

There have been a controversy regarding her hesitance to not acknowledge her ethnicity.

However, the confusion intensified after her appearance on The Breakfast Club. She faced backlash after apparently dodging a question on her ethnicity.

The Water crooner later cleared the air, insisting she never denied her “blackness.” The singer called herself a “coloured woman” when in South Africa, while she will “be classified as black woman” in other places.
