Tyla‘s performance at the BET Awards was nothing short of spectacular. She brought the heat with her debut “Jump” performance featuring Gunna and Skillibeng. Clad in a brown two-piece bra, skirt set, and black thigh boots, Tyla turned up the heat as she sang her track from behind a cage filled with dancers painted as a giant tiger.
Moreover, Tyla‘s viral hit single “Water” has been making waves on TikTok, inspiring the viral water dance challenge and popularizing the South African Bacardi dance routine to a global audience. The song has also ranked on other music charts in the US and UK, including the Billboard Afrobeats and R&B charts.
