In the latest episode of the popular podcast We Need To Talk, South African singer Tyla Laura Seethal, widely known as Tyla, has finally addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding her alleged romantic involvement with Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema. Putting an end to all the speculation, the talented ‘Water’ crooner made it clear that Rema is simply a “friend” and nothing more.
The dating rumors began circulating after a viral picture surfaced online, showing Tyla and Rema holding hands. However, during her appearance on the podcast, Tyla provided some much-needed clarity, explaining that the photo was taken at one of Rema’s electrifying concerts, where they had the opportunity to connect on a friendly level.
Tyla stated, “Rema and I are just friends. I attended one of his shows, and he happened to hold my hand. Naturally, people will always interpret things in their own way. But let me clarify, he is not my boyfriend nor my man.”
It is worth noting that Tyla had recently mentioned Rema during an interview with Apple Music, where she expressed her admiration for him, suggesting that she would love to take him as her prom date. This innocent comment may have added fuel to the dating speculations.
However, Tyla’s clarification now sets the record straight, confirming that there is no romantic relationship between her and Rema.
As the news spread like wildfire, fans of both artists have been expressing their opinions and reactions on social media platforms. While some are disappointed that there is no love story brewing between Tyla and Rema, others are relieved to know that they can continue to enjoy their individual music without any distraction.
With this statement, Tyla pleasantly puts an end to all the rumors and highlights the importance of not jumping to conclusions based on a single photograph. It is a reminder that celebrities can have innocent interactions without it being anything more than friendship.
As Tyla and Rema continue to make headlines and captivate audiences with their undeniable talents, it is important for fans and the media to respect their personal lives and support them in their individual journeys.
