Tyla claps back at troll over bikini beach pics

X, formerly known as Twitter is among the chat apps which are known to have cyberbullies and trolls. Multi-award-winning singer Tyla Laura Seethal, magnanimously known as Tyla recently had to confront this reality when she addressed a troll online.

This follows after Tyla, a proud South African talent, returned home for the holidays and shared stunning snaps of herself at the beach on her X and Instagram profiles.

Taking to her X page, Tyla shared dazzling pictures donned in a sleek bikini captioning her post: “Looking like a tourist in my country.” The pretty girl for Joburg oozed confidence and pride with her SA-flagged top and hat.

With some admiring her look, one netizen had a different opinion and said in the comment section: “Tyla, why don’t you just walk naked in public? Seems like you hate clothes.”

Known for being brave and standing up for herself, Tyla did not hesitate to address the troll and said: “You want me to wear a onesie on the beach? stfu.”

The Water hitmaker also took to her Instagram page, to share pictures of her relaxing in mzansi.
