South African star Tyla faces a major legal challenge as two U.S.-based songwriters claim they were unfairly left out of credits and royalties for her Grammy-winning hit “Water.” The track, which soared to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, has generated over $10 million, but the producers say they deserve official recognition and a bigger slice of the profits.

The lawsuit alleges deceptive contracts and exclusion from earnings, while Tyla continues her rise with new music and upcoming festival appearances. This high-stakes battle highlights the fierce fight over music rights in today's industry.
