Tyla: ‘God rushed the process for me’
In a recent interview on Apple Music’s Dotty Show, Tyla reflected on her whirlwind rise to global fame.
“I kind of had a way I wanted to do this and a way I thought things would’ve happened, but God obviously rushed that process for me. There were a lot of times where I felt like, damn, I wish I had a little bit more time before the world saw my rough drafts — before the world saw me figuring things out,” she said.
She added that she was still discovering herself when Water went global back in 2023.
“Because when Water blew up, I was still learning myself as an artist. I never had that much experience — until, obviously, I was thrown in the deep end with the Chris Brown tour, and then Water blew up.”
