Tyla has clapped back at a social media troll who made a disparaging comment about her recent beach photos in South Africa.

The Grammy award-winning singer recently shared images of herself enjoying downtime at the beach dressed in a bikini and a South African flag-printed shirt with the caption: “Looking like a tourist in my own country.”

However, not everyone was a fan of Tyla's look. An X user reacted to the post writing: “Why don't you just walk naked in public, seems like you hate clothes.”

Tyla was quick to respond to the troll, firing back with a witty remark.

“You want me to wear a onesie on the beach? Stfu [shut the f*ck up].”
