South African singer Tyla appeared on Quen Blackwell's YouTube series "Feeding Starving Celebrities", where she discussed her FIFA World Cup collaboration "Game Time" with rapper Future while denying rumours of a romance between the pair. The interview also touched on her new album "A*Pop", the lasting impact of her breakout hit "Water", her views on AI in music, and pushback against claims that her song "Chanel" was copied from Yung Miami.

Tyla explained that "Game Time" came together after she and Future, who first met at last year's Met Gala, were both sent the track for the FIFA tournament, and she dismissed online speculation about their performance together as "just vibing". On her album, she credited African music, R&B, pop and house as key influences, and reflected on the culture shock of "Water" reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024 given her modest upbringing. She also said AI-generated music would likely make authentic music "more valuable", and clarified that "Chanel" was written independently for her by songwriter Bibi Bourelly rather than copied from Yung Miami.
