Yung Miami Accuses Tyla of Song Theft

American rapper Yung Miami has accused South African singer Tyla of stealing her song.

The hip-hop star made the allegation after Tyla shared a teaser of her upcoming single “Chanel” on social media on Thursday.

Yung Miami claimed that she had previously played her unreleased track, also titled “Chanel,” for Tyla — and alleged that the South African star copied the idea.

Expressing her disappointment, the rapper said watching Tyla tease a song similar to hers left her emotionally hurt.

“This girl really ran off with my song and I don’t know how to feel about it. Mind you, I played this song for this girl,” Yung Miami wrote.

Responding to a fan’s question online, Yung Miami confirmed that Tyla was the person she was referring to.

As of the time of this report, Tyla has not responded to the accusations.
