Earlier this year, these two powerhouse artists found themselves together in Los Angeles for a spontaneous studio session. This marked the start of a blossoming friendship, according to Rolling Stone.

South African singer Tyla is known for her groundbreaking pop-amapiano hit Water. The South African singer invited Lisa to listen to her debut album.

As the Blackpink star sat down to listen, she was charmed by Tyla’s sweet personality. “You were literally so sweet. It was so cute,” Tyla recalls during a Rolling Stone interview.

Months later, they reunited for a photo shoot in L.A., creating a whirlwind of camaraderie in front of the camera.

As Lisa posed in a burgundy leather coat, Tyla hyped her up with comments like, “Ooh, she’s eating!” Both Tyla and Lisa have risen to worldwide fame in unique ways.

Lisa, originally from Thailand, is a K-pop sensation, with Blackpink being one of the most successful groups in the world.

Meanwhile, Tyla is making history herself, becoming the first South African artist to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100 in over five decades, according to People.

The duo’s connection isn’t just built on their shared success, but also their understanding of the challenges that come with being in the public eye.

“There’s no privacy,” Lisa admits. Tyla agrees, acknowledging how fame alters one’s personal life.

Lisa congratulated Tyla for her recent BET Awards wins, including Best New Artist and Best International Act.

Tyla, in turn, praised Lisa’s latest solo release, Rockstar, and admired the Thai elements featured in the video.
