“I can’t date a man who clubs all day” – Grammy Award-winning South African Tyla

“I can’t date a man who clubs all day” – Grammy Award-winning South African Tyla



Grammy Award-winning South African R&B singer, Tyla Laura Seethal, simply known as Tyla, has said that she couldn’t date a man who spends all day clubbing.

The “Water” hitmaker revealed her current single status and made the comment in a recent interview with Power 96.5 FM, Miami.

The 22-year-old stated to the on-air personality that she is unmarried at the moment because she wants to concentrate on her music career. She chose the guy who plays video games over the regular clubber when asked which one she preferred.

The host asked; “Would you rather have a boyfriend who plays video games a lot or a boyfriend who is always in the club?”

Tyla replied;

“Video games all day. A club guy? No! What the hell? I would rather have a boyfriend who plays video games than a boyfriend who is at the club every weekend. At least, I know the guy who plays video games will always be home with me. I also love being at home.”

Speaking on why she was single, she said: “Yes, I am single. I’m not playing with all of that right now. I am focusing on the prize.”
“Tyla deserved Best African Grammy award” – Daddy Freeze

“Tyla deserved Best African Grammy award” – Daddy Freeze

Media personality and convener of the Free the Sheeple movement, Daddy Freeze, has declared that South African Grammy winner, Tyla deserved to win the award.

He said that the 22-year-old singer, who was nominated in the same category for the 66th Grammy Awards, defeated Nigerian artists to win the Best African Music award.




Recall that on Sunday, during the 66th Grammy Awards, Nigerian performers Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, Olamide, and Ayra Starr were unsuccessful in winning any prizes.

Some angry Nigerian music fans accused the Recording Academy of collusion in the selection of Tyla’s “Water” over popular songs by Omo Baba Olowo and Odogwu.

However, Freeze maintained that Tyla’s 2024 Grammy win was fully earned and differed from the viewpoint of many Nigerian fans.

He said;

“Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists was not ojoro [scam]. I don’t see the ojoro. I’m struggling to see the ojoro.

Globally, in my opinion, ‘Water’ was a slightly bigger song [than Nigerian songs nominated]. It doesn’t mean those songs were not big. They were very big. It’s just that ‘Water’ has more vitality. It is massive on Tiktok.”
“My father said I’m still a legend despite Grammy loss” – Davido

“My father said I’m still a legend despite Grammy loss” – Davido

Popular Nigerian singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has declared that having a nomination for the just-finished 66th Grammy Awards is reason enough for him to be proud of himself.

Recall that he did not win an award at the Grammy Awards, which took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, despite receiving three nominations.





First-time Grammy nominee Davido disclosed that, even in the face of defeat, his millionaire father, Mr. Adedeji Adeleke, sent him words of encouragement.

In his most recent interview with Rolling Stone, the “Unavailable” singer talked about his rise to fame and said that his father told him he was still a legend.

He said;

“Being nominated alone is enough to make me proud of myself. I just want my song to be heard on the radio once or twice in the beginning, but for it to transcend to this is just amazing and God’s doing.

I was on the phone with my dad yesterday and he was like ‘Son no matter what happens, you are still a legend’. So yeah, he is a big fan.”
