As audiences head to cinemas to watch the latest adventure featuring Woody and Buzz Lightyear, many fans have been reminded of a tweet Tyla posted three years ago.
On 18 October 2023, the singer wrote: “Disney, hit me up when you free.”
At the time, it appeared to be a simple social media post. However, three years later, Disney reached out with an opportunity that Tyla could not refuse.

The singer recently spoke to Anele on 947 FM’s Anele and the Club, where the radio host reminded her about the tweet. Tyla admitted that she had completely forgotten about posting it.
