Tyla is finally addressing Yung Miamis claims that she stole her song ‘Chanel.’ Back in October 2025, Yung Miami took to X and alleged that someone had ran off with her song. While the rapper didnt initially name anyone, she later made it clear that she was referring to Tyla after comparing her unreleased track ‘Take Me to Chanel’ to Tylas then-upcoming single ‘Chanel.’ Miami also claimed she had personally played the song for Tyla before the singer previewed her own track. Now, months after the allegations sparked an online debate, Tyla is sharing her side of the story.
During a recent appearance on Quen Blackwells ‘Feeding Starving Celebrities,’ the singer denied stealing the song and explained how ‘Chanel’ came together. Tyla recalled seeing Yung Miamis posts online and immediately wondering whether they were about her. According to Tyla, she and Yung Miami had previously attended a party where Miami played around 20 songs. However, Tyla said her own ‘Chanel’ track came into the picture months later, when songwriter Bibi Bourelly sent her the song, with its concept and vibe already in place.
Tyla also said she understood why Yung Miami may have questioned the situation, explaining that she has experienced moments when other songs reminded her of her own music. She made it clear that she would never intentionally take another artists idea, adding, “You think I’m trying to ruin my career.” Despite the online controversy, Tyla made it clear she doesnt have an issue with Yung Miami and showed the rapper love by singing part of her hit song ‘Spend Dat.’
Plenty of TeaMates flooded The Shade Room Teens comment section after Tyla shared her side.
Tyla wasnt the only person ready to address the speculation. After The Shade Room Teens shared the clip, the songwriter of Tyla’s ‘Chanel’ Bibi Bourelly stepped into the comment section herself to shut down the idea that ‘Chanel’ or its concept came from another artists work. Respectfully, one things for sure, two things are for certain: neither the song nor the concept were inspired by anyone elses work, Bourelly wrote, adding that she wanted to put the rumor to rest.
