Tyla recently sparked a massive debate online when Western fans of the singer learned that she doesn't identify as black, but rather coloured.
'Coloured' is predominantly seen as a racial slur in America.
Many South Africans were outraged and defended the singer, as the term has a different connotation in South Africa. Many felt that fans' outrage over the term was disrespectful towards Tyla and other South Africans.
