Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Tyla Laura Seethal, known as Tyla, recently addressed rumors suggesting her affiliation with the Illuminati.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine, she refuted the notion that joining the Illuminati is necessary for achieving success in the music industry.

Tyla emphasized that her rise to stardom is attributed to her talent and hard work, with her faith being a central aspect of her journey.

She clarified that despite speculation, she is not a member of any cult, reaffirming that her accomplishments are rooted in her devotion to God.

She said “People already think I’m in the Illuminati? Oh, now. I know some people think that’s the only way, but it really isn’t. God is the center of everything that we are doing, and clearly, it’s working.”

Discussing her identity as a mixed-race South African in America, Tyla addressed misconceptions about denying her Blackness.

She said “When people are like, ‘You’re denying your Blackness,’ it’s not that at all. I never said I am not Black. It’s just that I grew up as a South African knowing myself as Coloured.

“And now that I’m exposed to more things, it has made me other things too. I’m also mixed-race. I’m also Black. I know people like finding a definition for things, but it’s ‘and,’ not ‘or’.”

The remains of the late sound engineer, Precious Ofurum, who tragically lost his life in a boat accident alongside Nollywood actor, Junior Pope and fellow crew members while returning from a movie set, have been exhumed.

A viral video surfaced on Tuesday, depicting individuals solemnly exhuming Ofurum’s body, which was then placed in a coffin and prepared for transportation back to his hometown for burial.

Junior Pope and several members of his crew, including Ofurum, tragically lost their lives on April 10 when their boat overturned in the Anam River, Anambra State while returning from a film shoot.

Ilebaye said, “I have received my [BBNaija prize] money. I haven’t even touched tiny part of it. My money haven’t finished. I haven’t touched my prize money. And this is a fact.”
