During an exclusive interview with Hollywood Unlocked, Tyla Seethal seized the opportunity to discuss her exhilarating Grammy win and put an end to the ongoing speculation surrounding her love life. Speaking with CEO Jason Lee, she unequivocally stated that she is currently unattached and debunked various swirling dating rumors.

Contrary Claims Despite Firm Denial
Despite Tyla’s candid statement, podcast host MacG previously asserted that she was romantically involved with Sho Majozi’s former boyfriend, a videographer. Last October, MacG even insinuated that the millions of streams accumulated by Tyla’s song were not genuine but artificially generated.
According to MacG, Tyla’s alleged partner is an international creative, and his team is strategically positioning her for success.
