-During an interview with Elle, Tyla pranked her mother, telling her that she was pregnant, and was met with the following response: “Yeah, I’m happy. I had a feeling for a long time. That’s what I’m seriously shocked about. Oh my God. I swear to God. I had premonitions. I swear to God.”

“I don’t know who the father is,” Tyla continued, before coming clean. Her mom then replied, “Tyla, but I had a premonition. I spoke to Auntie Mila and I told her I need grandchildren. Oh my God, Tyla. Am I supposed to scream?” Tyla also pranked Central Cee during the interview.
