Imagine getting a dance lesson from the Tyla at a petrol station of all places. This was the reality of two incredibly lucky fans when they bumped into the singer during what may have been a quick snack stop.

Coming from a not-so-successful release of her new project, We Wanna Party, the singer has faced constant scrutiny on social media.

However, with her fans' support, Tyla continues to shine despite the shade, and her choreography for Is It just so happened to catch some supporters' attention.

On 27 August, one of her fan pages, zacisontime, posted a video of the two ladies performing the choreography step by step together with Tyla, who wore bedroom slippers.

While the ladies seemingly struggled to keep up, Tyla was patient enough to go through the dance number with them at a slower pace, helping them feel more comfortable. Read some reactions from social media users:

Briefly News shared a video of the Rush hitmaker's performance on 18 August, which many online users claimed was copied from Tyla's own and was poorly executed.

While the Tigers called out Ayra for copying Tyla's style, it wasn't long before an online war ensued between Nigeria and South Africa. Surprisingly, it wouldn't be the first time the ladies' fans butted heads on social media.

Previously, Briefly News looked into the comments from Ayra Starr's supporters, who claimed their fave influenced Tyla's style of dress.

Adding fuel to the fire was Tyla's statements about the origin of Amapiano after the success of her first hit single, Water. Her comments caused a significant divide and added to the growing tension between Mzansi and Naija.
