Charlamagne Tha God recently revealed that Tyla’s team requested that several questions not be asked during her ‘Breakfast Club’ appearance on Juen 13.
HotNewHipHop reports that Charlamagne denied their request, stating that he “[has] a job to do.”
The radio personality shared on ‘The Brilliant Idiots’ what occurred behind the scenes before the South African singer’s interview. He stated Tyla’s team asked him not to inquire about her no longer touring with Chris Brown, a recent injury, Kai Cenat, comparing her to other artists, or identifying as “coloured.” Charlamagne said he told Tyla’s management that he would still ask the questions so they could “either prepare Tyla for those topics to be brought up or just cancel the interview altogether.”
The author stated that he had to ask about her comical interaction with Kai. Tyla’s interview on the show arrived the day after Kevin Hart presented Cenat with a framed poster that read, “We friends tho.” Tyla used the line to turn the streamer down after he asked her on a date.
During Tyla’s interview on the show, the host asked what it meant to be “coloured.” The singer didn’t answer the question. She looked to her management. A voice said, “Can we not, por favor?” Charlamagne stated that he would not edit out that part of the interview.
As previously reported by The Shade Room, Tyla released a statement answering the question after the interview. The songstress took to her Instagram stories and stated, “Never denied my Blackness idk where that came from.” Additionally, she stated, “I’m both Coloured in South African and a black [woman].”
Roommates weighed in on Tyla’s interview and the tea the radio host dropped.
@funsize_tana said, “Why go on an interview, especially the breakfast club who are known to be messy but don’t want to answer questions about your life?”
@85.kgoldd said, “She has terrible media training because those questions are super [easy].”
