Yung Miami stirred conversation online after she posted tweets suggesting South African singer Tyla used a song idea Miami once shared privately. The topic exploded on X and music forums as fans argued over titles, hooks, and timing.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!What exactly did Yung Miami say?
Yung Miami posted messages on X saying she played an unreleased track called “Take Me to Chanel” for Tyla and later saw Tyla tease a song titled “Chanel”. Her main message was: “This girl really ran off with my song, and I don’t know how to feel about it.” She also compared the hooks by tweeting a line that read something like “Take me to Chanel > put me in Chanel.”
What does Tyla’s snippet sound like?
Tyla teased a short clip where she sings a hook featuring the phrase “Put me in Chanel.” Fans point out the vibe is pop-Afrobeats and carries the same catchy approach that made Tyla’s earlier hit popular. Listeners who have compared the snippets say the hooks and tones appear different enough that it’s hard to call it a straight lift.
Did Tyla respond to the accusation?
At the time of writing, Tyla has not put out a public reply targeting Yung Miami’s claim. She continued promoting her music on social channels without addressing the allegation directly.
How are fans reacting?
Reactions split into two camps. Some fans support Yung Miami and feel she should have released her version sooner. Other fans say titles and catchy lines can overlap in music, and the two clips sound different enough that this looks like a coincidence rather than theft.

Is this likely to become a legal issue?
Right now this looks like a social media dispute rather than a legal fight. For a copyright case to move forward, a party usually needs clear evidence of copying of melody, lyrics, or recording — not just similar words or a shared idea. Many disputes like this are resolved privately, through conversations between teams, or they fade as both songs get released and judged by listeners.
Could this end up as a collaboration or publicity boost?
When two artists clash publicly, it sometimes leads to increased attention for both. Fans may pressure either artist to release their version, or teams might broker a conversation that leads to a feature, credit, or joint statement. Either way, public interest tends to raise streaming numbers and curiosity.

Frequently asked questions
Did Tyla actually copy Yung Miami’s song?
There is no public proof that Tyla copied the full song. Yung Miami claims she shared the idea earlier, but similarity alone — especially in short teasers — does not confirm copying. A formal claim would need detailed musical comparison and proof of access beyond a casual meeting.
What should Yung Miami do if she believes the song was stolen?
Common next steps include saving evidence (demos, timestamps, messages), contacting a lawyer who specializes in music copyright, or asking her team to reach out to Tyla’s team to clarify the situation. Many artists also choose to release their version quickly so listeners can compare directly.
Will this hurt Tyla’s career?
Not necessarily. Public disputes can be distracting, but they rarely derail a career unless legal issues follow and are proven. For many artists, controversy can even increase streams and visibility in the short term.
Can two songs share the same title?
Yes. Song titles are not usually protected by copyright, so multiple songs can legally share the same name. The issue is whether the melody, lyrics, or unique arrangement are copied without permission.
