Image: Instagram/@tylaxtygers
Grammy-award-winning Tyla has been booked and busy since the beginning of the year with a few breaks here and there.
The latest one sees her back home in South Africa after an eventful trip that brought her back to her hometown, Johannesburg.
The singer was recently spotted enjoying a well-deserved break, having the time of her life at a club in Sandton with her friends, rocking oversized shades and dancing to her unreleased song 'Is It'.
The song, which was initially set to drop on June 28, may have been pushed back, but that did not stop the chart-topping singer from jamming to it and continuing to give her fans a sneak peek.

Additionally, like the carefree spirit she is, Tyla always ensures to enjoy her time spent back home with her friends and siblings, but could she be on the streets of Johannesburg to shoot the music visuals for her unreleased song?
Fans are speculating after a video of the global star in a 16-seater Toyota Quantum taxi while casually wearing a grey Chanel beanie.
In the video, she is surrounded by students who are excited to take pictures with her as the taxi slowly drives off.
The 23-year-old singer had recently made headlines for surprising 18-year-old Mollwane Madiba at his matric dance, courtesy of his determination and the 5FM team.
Madiba had been campaigning for months to get Tyla as his dance date and after all his efforts, he was told about Tyla's unavailability until the singer's surprise appearance had him and his fellow schoolmates going wild.
Before her arrival, Madiba was seen with a life-size cutout of Tyla before she made a surprise appearance, making the student's dream come true and his matric dance one for the books.

Blake Lively subpoenas major media figures in Justin Baldoni smear campaign case
Blake Lively is intensifying her case against Justin Baldoni.. Image: Instagram. Hollywood actress Blake Lively has reportedly issued subpoenas to several prominent content creators in the US, including Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore, for her ongoing case against Justin Baldoni. This new development is part of Lively's effort to substantiate her claims of an alleged smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film "It Ends With Us", whom she accused of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni has denied the sexual harassment allegations made against him by Lively. According to online reports, the subpoenas were issued in an attempt to obtain communication records between these influencers and Baldoni or his associates. Lively's lawyers aim to prove that Baldoni's team was behind a campaign designed to malign her reputation in the lead-up to the film's release. Owens, a political commentator, author and activist, however, expressed her surprise at the news in a statement to "People". "Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to 'TMZ' to alert me to it," she said. Owens added: "I have no idea what I am being subpoenaed for, as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I'll let audiences know on my podcast ('The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast')." Hilton, a veteran celebrity blogger who has been tracking the developments of this high-profile case, responded in a video to his followers, stating: "I take this very seriously … I have not been served a subpoena yet. But I will comply with the law and I have nothing to hide." Signore, who has a YouTube channel focusing on celebrity trials, also took to social media to clarify his position. Watch his full video below. Baldoni's alleged $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, was recently dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman, who ruled against Baldoni's claims of extortion and defamation. Meanwhile, Lively's legal team argues that Baldoni and his team are responsible for strategically disseminating damaging content about her online. Her complaint includes allegations that Baldoni's team "seeded" negative content with online creators and across platforms like Reddit to escalate the harm to Lively's image, a claim backed by various incidents leading up to the film's premiere in August 2024. Lively has extended her reach, also issuing subpoenas to music executive Scooter Braun and indicating interest in the communications of other influential friends, including Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman. The trial is set to start on March 9, 2026.

Charlize Theron opens up about her fear of marriage
South African-born Hollywood star Charlize Theron has revealed why she has never walked down the aisle. Speaking candidly on the popular podcast Call Her Daddy , Theron shared her true feelings about marriage and long-term commitment. The Oscar-winning actress, who grew up in Benoni, Gauteng, spoke openly about her personal life. She told host Alex Cooper, 'Let me just be clear. Marriage is a long-term commitment, and I think I want a long-term commitment. I don't need to get married.' She added, 'So I just want to clarify that.' Theron, now 49, is a proud single mother to two daughters, Jackson, 12, and August, 9. She explained that her reluctance to marry comes from a deep-seated fear, according to Geo News. 'I will tell you in all honesty and the work that I've done on myself. Charlize Theron admitted, 'I think a lot of that comes from my tremendous fear of not being able to get out of something.' 'That's, again, me just understanding me, right?' The Mad Max: Fury Road star also joked about the legal realities of long-term relationships in California. 'Obviously, by California laws, after seven years, you're in a marriage, whether you walk down the aisle, sign a piece of paper, it's 50-50, bru. Let's just be clear,' she said. 'My semantics is crazy, but if I were to find a relationship, I would think of it as something that I'm aiming for long term.' Theron's honesty resonates with many who value commitment but may not see marriage as a necessity. Her words highlight a modern approach to relationships, one that focuses on genuine connection rather than legal contracts. Charlize Theron remains an inspiration to many, both at home in South Africa and abroad. Her openness about her fears and choices encourages others to follow their paths, whatever they may be.
