Blac Chyna’s mother accuses Tyla of joining the Illuminati

- ALYSSIA BIRJALAL

GRAMMY-winning singer and songwriter Tyla has been accused of joining Hollywood’s secret society, the Illuminati.

The accusation­s were made during an interview with Blac Chyna’s mother.

Toni Tokyo, whose real name is Shalana Hunter, was talking about Hollywood celebritie­s that she allegedly regards as being a part of the Illuminat. She mentioned that the most recent “industry plants” were rapper Ice Spice and our home girl, Tyla.

The three-hour-long interview by RealLyfe Production­s, Street Starz, aired on YouTube recently and since then, clips have been making the rounds on social media platforms X and TikTok.

Tokyo divulged a lot of sensitive informatio­n, including who she allegedly “knows” is part of the society, how the organisati­on gets people to join and what they offer.

What sparked mixed reactions in SA, though, was when she mentioned that Water singer Tyla, has sold her soul for fame.

“(Sings Water) ... Plant, plant, plant. Give her until February next year, cold-blooded freak. Turned inside out. One song gave you a Grammy, but you got people like Angie Stone, whose been around since I was 10 years old, never got one, how is that possible?

“You walk in, the song is still on the f**king radio and you got a Grammy? How do you do that, how do you get that? How did they even do an audit on it, no you can’t, that’s crazy,” said Tokyo.

Tyla’s fans have come to the singer’s defence saying they just “smell jealousy”, while other social media users believe Tokyo may have a point.

@NerdZulu commented: “Tyla’s rise is suspicious though!”

@JustTweep commented: “I love Tyla, but that Grammy win over one song was suspicious esp because the people she was up against have had a bigger impact than her.”
