Unreleased Track Drama: Yung Miami Accuses Tyla of Stealing Song Idea "Chanel"

The music world is buzzing as Yung Miami of the City Girls has publicly accused South African singer Tyla of creative theft, claiming the rising star's upcoming single, "Chanel," was directly inspired by a song she had previously previewed for her.

The dispute centers on an unreleased track by Yung Miami, reportedly titled "Take Me to Chanel."

Yung Miami, whose real name is Caresha Brownlee, took to social media to express her frustration, suggesting Tyla had co-opted the core concept of her song. In a pointed tweet, the rapper wrote, "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."

The City Girls star later elaborated by directly comparing the two song concepts: "Take me to Chanel > put me in Chanel," making it clear she views Tyla's song, which features the lyric "Put me in Chanel," as a copied idea. When fans suggested she should have released her version sooner, Miami shot back, "Don't matter it's my mf song!!!"

Tyla, who shot to global fame with the smash hit "Water," is preparing to release her single "Chanel" on October 24. While her fans are eager for the new track, the accusations from Yung Miami have thrown a spotlight on the song's origins.

As the debate rages online, with fans sharing side-by-side comparisons and arguing over the extent of the resemblance, Tyla has remained silent. She has not yet publicly addressed Yung Miami's claims on social media or through her representatives. The lack of a response has only fueled further speculation in the hip-hop and Afrobeats communities.
