Oh Tyla… just when we thought it was all love and Billboard charts, here comes the drama.
South African superstar Tyla is riding high on the global success of her hit single “Water”, but now the track’s behind-the-scenes story is making just as many waves. Producers Olmo Zucca and Jackson LoMastro have filed a lawsuit against Tyla, producer Sammy Soso (real name Samuel Awuku), and Sony Music, claiming they were cut out of the credits and denied their share of royalties from the chart-topping hit.
According to the lawsuit, the pair allege they contributed significantly to the original production of “Water” — but when the final version blew up, their names were nowhere to be found. Instead, Sammy Soso was the one credited, leaving Zucca and LoMastro fuming and ready to take legal action.
The lawsuit doesn’t just demand recognition — it seeks compensation for unpaid royalties and a proper share of the song’s success. Considering how “Water” has dominated global charts, become a viral sensation, and helped launch Tyla into superstardom, this is no small claim.
As Tyla gears up to drop her new album, the timing of this lawsuit has everyone talking. Could it shake up the rollout? Or will it all be handled behind the scenes?
One thing’s for sure: when the music’s hot, so is the drama.
