South African music sensation Tyla sparked concern among fans after a video surfaced on X showing the Grammy-winning star being carried by security into a car in São Paulo, Brazil.
The clip, which quickly went viral, captured the Water hitmaker dressed in white and appearing limp as a man rushed her into a black SUV, with cameras flashing around them. A faint voice in the background could be heard saying, “Thank you, guys,” before the footage cut off.
The dramatic moment immediately fueled online speculation. Some feared Tyla had collapsed from a medical emergency, while others suggested she may have been drugged or overwhelmed by exhaustion. One fan wrote, “This is alarming,” while another claimed, “These crazy people prolly drugged her cuz ain’t no way!”
Just hours earlier, Tyla had delivered a high-energy performance at H&M’s Brazil launch event, sharing the stage with Anitta and Gilberto Gil. During her set, she addressed critics directly, telling the crowd: “Too many people lying on my name.”
With no visible signs of fatigue at the show, the viral video left many stunned.
By the following morning, however, the mood shifted. Sources close to the star clarified that Tyla was perfectly fine and had simply “partied a little too hard” at the after-party.
One insider posted, “You guys, Tyla is okay, she was just drunk as heck last night… she actually found the video funny.”
While fans expressed relief, the incident also sparked debate about celebrity safety and privacy. Some criticized Tyla’s team for failing to shield her from cameras, calling the footage “unsettling.” Others questioned why her security did not act more discreetly in protecting her during such a vulnerable moment.
For now, fans can rest assured that Tyla is fine — though the viral clip has reminded many of the intense scrutiny that comes with global fame.
