Tyla on Fame, Criticism and Knowing Who She Is
When Tyla appeared on the cover of Glamour’s Women of the Year issue, she was already one of South Africa’s most recognisable artists. The Johannesburg-born singer had just made history as the first African artist to win a Grammy for Best African Music Performance with her global hit, Water. But the interview showed another side of her: one that deals with fame and scrutiny away from the stage.

“I realised that people just like to talk,” she told Glamour. “That’s just my life now.” It’s a calm response from someone who has learned to live with the constant attention that comes with international fame. Tyla’s social media presence and fast rise have made her a subject of endless commentary, but she doesn’t let it change her approach. “What’s the point of life if everything is based on what other people think about you?” she said.
The 23-year-old often links her attitude to how she grew up. “We were outside every day, in the grass, in the streets,” she recalled in the same interview. “We’d sell clothes on the road, buy sweets, then do it again tomorrow.” Her background in Johannesburg, she explained, taught her how to stay grounded and work hard. Those values still guide her today.

That confidence has also been tested in the public eye. Earlier this year, a discussion around her identity gained attention online when Tyla described herself as a “coloured woman.” The term, common in South Africa, carries different meaning in other countries and sparked debate among international fans.
Tyla later explained that both sides of her identity are valid. “I know I’m a Black woman and I know I’m a coloured woman as well, and you can be both,” she said in a statement quoted by Blavity. She also clarified that she doesn’t expect people outside South Africa to identify her the same way. “In South Africa, I’m coloured. And I’m a Black woman too.”

Her words reflect the complexity of South African identity and how it can be misunderstood globally. Through it all, Tyla seems unfazed, focused on her music and her sense of self. “When who you are is challenged, it shakes you,” she said. “You want to stand your ground, because if you don’t, someone else will try to define it for you.”
At just 23, Tyla is learning to navigate global fame while holding on to where she comes from. And she’s doing it on her own terms.

Anok Yai Just Won Model of the Year at the Fashion Awards
Anok Yai’s recognition at the Fashion Awards came after a year where her work was everywhere across the global fashion circuit. The event at the Royal Albert Hall brought together the industry’s usual mix of designers, photographers, editors, and public figures, but her category carried particular interest because of the scale of her work over the past year. The award confirmed what has been visible across runways, campaigns and major editorials; she has been one of the most active and consistently booked models in the world.

Anok Yai – Instagram
Over the last two seasons, Yai appeared in campaigns for multiple luxury houses and major beauty brands. This solidified her status as one of fashion’s most relied-upon faces. Her presence across top publications, including repeated appearances in British Vogue, Vogue US, Vogue Italia, Another Magazine, Dazed and others, showed how central she has become to editorial planning. These were not one-off features; she held recurring space in print and digital editions throughout 2024 and 2025, reflecting sustained relevance rather than periodic visibility.

Professionals who have worked with Yai have publicly spoken about her preparation and attention to detail on set. Photographers and stylists have noted in interviews that she arrives ready, understands references and adapts quickly to direction. Designers have highlighted her ability to hold the mood of a show, which is one of the reasons she appears regularly in prominent runway lineups in New York, London, Milan and Paris. This consistent performance across markets has placed her among the most in-demand models of the current era.
Her win therefore aligns with a year defined by high-profile work rather than isolated standout moments. Her runway appearances spanned several major fashion weeks; her editorial output remained steady across multiple continents; and her campaign bookings cut across both fashion and beauty sectors. These are measurable indicators of influence in an industry where longevity and volume across major platforms matter as much as visibility.

Anok Yai – Instagram
For South African readers who follow international modelling, particularly the growing presence of African talent within global spaces, Yai’s achievement fits within a broader movement of African models taking on leading roles in fashion’s biggest arenas. Her award reflects a documented body of work that extended across campaigns, runways and publications throughout the year. It marks her as one of the most prominent working models of the moment.

Ye Postpones Johannesburg Concert Reveals Plans to Expand Yeezy Line
Ye’s Johannesburg concert, originally planned for December 13 at Ellis Park Stadium, has been officially postponed. This decision was reached after weeks of uncertainty surrounding logistics. The update came through a formal statement from Yeezy management, confirming that the show will not take place. All tickets purchased for the December date will be refunded through TicketPro, and fans have been told to monitor Ye’s official channels for the new date and venue.

Ye: Instagram
The decision to postpone followed growing concerns within the South African live entertainment industry. The original promoter, Monyake Group, had been responsible for handling the event, but the company reportedly failed to meet several obligations. Industry reports indicate that payment deadlines were missed, communication broken down, and the group did not provide the necessary confirmations to Ye’s team. There were also claims that the promoter was in the process of deregistering from its corporate body, which intensified doubts about its ability to deliver a production of this size.
Ticket sales added another layer of pressure. Only a few thousand tickets were reportedly sold by late November, far below what is expected for a stadium event featuring an international artist of Ye’s stature. This development raised questions about the original rollout plan and the promotional strategy managed by the local partners. As media enquiries increased, the promoter failed to respond publicly, which further affected confidence in the event setup.

With these issues mounting, Yeezy management decided to remove the original promoter from the project entirely. The show will now be a full rebuild as a larger Yeezy production. The statement emphasized that the new approach aims to offer a more ambitious and more organised structured experience for South African audiences. This includes a stronger production infrastructure, improved coordination, and a format that may extend beyond a traditional concert. Internal sources suggest that the reworked event could include advanced staging elements and broadcast components that allow viewers across the continent and beyond to join live.

Ye : ABC News
Ye’s team reassured fans that they aren’t withdrawing from the South African event but are committed to delivering a more dependable production. They are confident of performing in the country, as their plans align with the wider global expansion of the Yeezy brand. This moment also coincides with Kanye West’s renewed emphasis on growing his fashion and creative ventures.
Although this postponement is disappointing, many observers are hopeful of a more organised event. With detailed oversight from Yeezy management, the project is expected to deliver a stronger result worth the wait once the new date is confirmed
