TYLA SHOOTING HER SHOTS AT A$AP ROCKY?! Internet In A Tailspin After South African Star Is Spotted Wearing A$AP’s Custom Diamonds… Is She Trying To Be The Next Rihanna AND Take Her Man?! (DETAILS)
Honey, clear off your timelines and hold onto your teacups, because the social media rumor mill just exploded with one of the most wild celebrity claims of the year!
Rising pop-R&B star Tyla—who has frequently drawn comparisons to Rihanna ever since her breakout hit “Water”—is now being accused by online sleuths of taking her admiration a step too far. Fans across TikTok and X (Twitter) are alleging that the 24-year-old singer might be subtly “shooting her shot” at Rihanna’s longtime partner and father of her children, A$AP Rocky!
The Custom Alex Moss Jewelry Connection
The chatter kicked off after Tyla posted photos on social media posing in iced-out custom jewelry from high-end celebrity jeweler Alex Moss!
To the casual observer, it looked like a standard flex during a visit to Alex Moss’ private, wood-paneled VIP showroom in SoHo, New York. But eagle-eyed hip-hop historians quickly pieced together the history behind the exact drip on display:
- A$AP’s Custom Pieces: Back in April and May 2025, Alex Moss officially completed a Verdy-designed “Cartoon Jesus Piece” and an iced-out Audemars Piguet watch necklace custom-crafted for A$AP Rocky, with teasers hyped across social media.
- Tyla Posing In Rocky’s Drip: During her recent visit to design custom “A*POP” pieces and earrings, Tyla was photographed actually wearing and posing in A$AP Rocky’s custom-designed jewelry!
- The Social Media Subliminal: While jewelry borrowing during showroom fittings isn’t entirely unheard of in celebrity fashion circles, critics are claiming the choice to post Rocky’s personal pieces was a calculated, subtle nod to Flacko himself!
“Trying To Be Rihanna” Or Harmless Fashion Fun?
For months, critics on social media have accused Tyla of copying Rihanna’s vocal tone, fashion aesthetic, and island-girl charm. But taking photos in Rocky’s custom-crafted ice has sent online sleuths into overdrive, with commentators pointing out Rocky’s past reputation as a flirt!
- The Internet Reacts: Commentary channels quickly flooded with reactions, with fans debating whether Tyla was simply playing around with high fashion in SoHo or intentionally dropping hints to catch A$AP Rocky’s eye.
- No Official Response: Neither Tyla, A$AP Rocky, nor Rihanna have addressed the chatter, while Alex Moss continues to hold down his title as the go-to jeweler for both icons.
Whether it was just a glamorous showroom flex or a subtle play for attention, the internet isn’t letting Tyla off the hook anytime soon!
