Afrobeat sensation Tyla has now officially caught the attention of hitmaker and songwriter MNEK on the timeline.

When South African It-girl Tyla moves, the internet watches. And when British hitmaker MNEK decides to weigh in on her music? The timeline definitely pays attention.

It all started with a simple fan question on X.

A user tweeted, “@mnek, what are your thoughts on Tyla’s music? I reckon some MNEK & Tyla magic would GAG the girlsssss.”

MNEK didn’t hesitate.

His response? Short, sweet, and strong enough to set the fan base on fire:

“Big Tyla fan, the discog is stacked with hits.”

That one sentence was all the internet needed.

Suddenly, fans were in full manifestation mode:

“Collabo coming, I know.”

“THIS IS WHAT THE FANS WANNA SEE.”

“I would like to see it!!!!!!”

“You got taste.”

And honestly, they’re not wrong. A Tyla x MNEK track would be the kind of genre-blending magic that shuts timelines down for hours. Both artists know how to build a hook, play with rhythm, and make a record feel global. Tyla’s breezy amapiano-pop fusion and MNEK’s polished UK hitmaking style? That’s a recipe for a streaming takeover.

For now, though, there’s no official collaboration, just mutual respect and MNEK’s public praise, which goes all the way back to March 2024 when he called Tyla’s debut album, “wow, it’s so good.”

Meanwhile, Tyla is busy taking her sound across the world.

She’s currently on her “We Wanna Party Asia Tour, hitting major cities like Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila, and Singapore. The tour runs from November 11 to December 13, 2025, giving fans a taste of her latest EP with high-energy sets and her signature dancefloor-ready vibe.

If a Tyla x MNEK collab ever drops, know the internet manifested it first.
