On the topic of virality, Tyla steps into the spotlight, witnessing the wave of praise for her signature sultry anthem, “Water” which has amassed over 256 million streams on the Spotify platform.
Philippines’ “Pop Star Princess” Sarah Geronimo provided her version of the trending TikTok sound on the ASAP stage last Sunday, December 17, 2023, which the South African artist was quick to take note.

Coming across a one-minute clip of Geronimo’s recent “Sarah G Specials” segment, Tyla expressed her amusement at the production value and performance of the 35-year-old popstar.
“It’s so crazy seeing people perform my song with huge productions, costumes, choreo etc etc… what the heck 🥴🤍,” she wrote.
As her quoted tweet garnered over 7.5 million views and counting, Filipinos made sure to properly introduce their local music icon, flooding the post with replies and engagements.
