Singer Cardi B stands up Tyla after MTV VMAs drama

• Cardi B, famous for her hit Bongos, defended Tyla on X (formerly Twitter) amid the social media attacks.

• Some people believed Tyla was rude to Halle Bailey when she asked her to hold the award.

Tyla has been in the spotlight since her song Water went viral worldwide. She has received several awards, such as a Grammy, a BET award, and most recently, an MTV Video Music Award. After her speech, she faced backlash from many Americans online.

Cardi B, famous for her hit Bongos, defended Tyla on X (formerly Twitter) amid the social media attacks. Some people believed Tyla was rude to Halle Bailey when she asked her to hold the award. Cardi clarified that Tyla was actually asking Lil Nas X to hold it because he is a man.

“Tyla wishes she never won that VMA award. If she had known, it would have brought so much hate, so much criticism. I bet she was crying that night,” Cardi told her Bardigang audience.

“The internet is so insufferable. The way you guys will take a picture, a moment, and make it something that it is not, and just crush somebody. You all criticise so much that you do not even notice you are bullying this girl, and you do not really have a reason to, but you are making this a reason because you don’t like her for whatever reason. You all are doing too much.”

Tyla was labeled an ‘Uppity African’ because people thought she was too confident.

Cardi B added that the awards are quite heavy and that Tyla is smaller in size.

“You gotta worry about doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a 10-pound award in your hand. So I just don’t think you understand how heavy those awards are,” she continued.
