In a recent engaging conversation with renowned US radio host and actor Big Boy on his Big Boy TV podcast, Tyla delved into her affection for South African food.
“The food. Yoooh, hhayi. I travel with big pap [maize meal] from South Africa so I can make it wherever I go,”
Tyla expressed when asked about what she misses the most about her homeland.
Tyla passionately emphasized her preference for South African cuisine over American dishes, stating,
