Yung Miami says Tyla stole her new song ‘CHANEL,’ and fans are already picking sides.
There’s tension brewing between City Girls rapper Yung Miami and South African pop star Tyla, and it’s all about a Chanel song.
Tyla recently announced that her new single, ‘CHANEL,’ will drop on October 24, sharing the news on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Just hours later, Yung Miami took to the same platform to accuse Tyla of stealing her idea.
According to Yung Miami, she’s had a track called ‘Take Me To Chanel’ in the works for a while, and it seems Tyla’s announcement struck a nerve. She followed up with more posts, saying she’s confused but confident that her song is better. When a fan mentioned that Tyla’s chorus includes the line ‘Put me in Chanel,’ Miami quoted it with, ‘Let’s talk about it!!!’
As always, the internet took sides almost immediately. Some fans think Miami is just helping Tyla’s promo with all the attention, while others argue the songs don’t sound alike at all.
One user wrote, ‘Yung Miami just gave Tyla the best free promo ever. ’ Another shaded both, saying, ‘the concept of somebody stealing a Yung Miami song….’
Still, Miami insists she’s telling the truth and that she played the song for Tyla before any of the teasers surfaced.

Yung Miami, whose real name is Caresha Brownlee, has been teasing ‘Take Me To Chanel’ for a while now. Back in 2023, she jokingly told her followers to ‘secure a Chanel trip’ after she reportedly ran up Diddy’s tab at the luxury store.
Earlier this year, she turned that viral shopping moment into a song. The track became a mini-meme among her fans, with people quoting ‘Take me to Chanel’ online and waiting for her to finally drop it.
Enter Tyla.
The Grammy-winning South African star first hinted at her own Chanel-themed song last month. On September 8, while sharing photos from her MTV VMAs look, which featured a vintage Chanel top, she captioned the post:
