Yung Miami Has Accused Tyla Of Borrowing Her Song Idea For The Upcoming Track 'Chanel'

Rapper Yung Miami has caused a social media uproar after accusing South African pop singer Tyla of plagiarizing the concept for her upcoming song, Chanel.

The City Girls rapper posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, October 16, 2025, stating that Tyla’s new song bears a close resemblance to an unreleased track she had shared with the Grammy-winning artist earlier.

Yung Miami expressed confusion saying, “This girl has completely taken my song and I’m not sure how to react,” stating she had given Chanel to Tyla personally before Tyla started hinting at her own rendition. The rapper subsequently posted another update with the words, “Like…..” “I’m completely baffled!” and later doubled down, writing, “It doesn’t matter, it’s my own song!!!

This girl really ran off with my song and ion know how to feel about it mind you I played this song for this girl 🤔🤔🤔
