Tyla has sparked major online discussion after opening up about a past Instagram exchange with fellow South African star Nasty C that reportedly involved a failed collaboration attempt and a clash over pricing.
According to Tyla, the situation began when Nasty C reached out to her via Instagram, expressing interest in working together on music. With her career rapidly growing on an international scale, Tyla says she responded professionally, stating a collaboration fee of $300,000.
However, she claims the response she received took an unexpected turn. Nasty C allegedly reacted with a laughing emoji and challenged her pricing, suggesting she was not yet on the level of global superstars such as Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, or Cardi B to command such a fee. He reportedly also implied that he expected she might agree to collaborate without charging.
Tyla further stated that the conversation ended on a sour note, claiming that Nasty C eventually blocked her on Instagram, bringing the discussion to an abrupt halt and preventing any further negotiation.
The revelation has since ignited debate across social media, with fans divided over issues of artist value, pricing in collaborations, and respect within the music industry. While some argue Tyla is justified in setting her worth based on her rising global profile, others feel collaboration expectations within the same regional scene should be more flexible.
Neither artist has issued any additional public statements beyond Tyla’s account, leaving the story as one of the more talked-about behind-the-scenes music industry moments, highlighting how quickly creative opportunities can shift from potential hit records to public controversy.
