Tyla has experienced a monster year with her breakout hit “Water” topping the Billboard charts. Her self-titled debut album followed suit, showing her off among music’s new elite. In a recent interview, the 22-year-old discusses handling fame and comparisons to another artist who found success young – Rihanna.
While flattered by the linkage to Rihanna’s trajectory, Tyla notes she aims to forge her own path. She of course stated that it’s a huge honor for her to be compared to Rihanna, but Rihanna is Rihanna, and Tyla is her own person.
However, rumors now swirl around Tyla’s health and priorities after canceling her world tour. Spotted regularly on the party circuit globally, some wonder if other factors impacted the tour decision.
Fans debate whether Tyla can sustain her momentum or risks burnout. But Tyla appears to take delight in her newfound fame, balancing that lifestyle with her burgeoning career will prove a delicate act to pull off long term.
