Tyla Shuts Down Label Rumours

South African global superstar Tyla has officially shut down viral rumours claiming she signed a multi-million dollar record deal with Jay-Z’s entertainment powerhouse, Roc Nation. The speculation erupted online on 1 July 2026, when unverified social media fan pages and several international music outlets reported that the Grammy-winning artist had parted ways with Epic Records to join Roc Nation’s elite roster.

As the false reports continued to gain traction across digital platforms, the “Water” hitmaker took matters into her own hands to set the record straight. Addressing her followers directly via an Instagram story on Tuesday, 7 July 2026, Tyla firmly dismissed the industry gossip while simultaneously steering the spotlight back to her upcoming music.

“I’m not signed to Roc Nation, But my album A*Pop drops 24/7,” Tyla clarified in her post.

The swift rejection of the rumours highlighted the rapid spread of modern entertainment misinformation, where unverified claims are often treated as fact. While a partnership with a global powerhouse like Roc Nation could be a viable future avenue for the singer, Tyla’s immediate focus remains entirely centred on the highly anticipated global rollout of her sophomore album later this July.
