Elaine trends on social media after Tyla bagged her first Grammy nomination.
Last Friday, the Water hitmaker got nominated in the Best African Music Performance category.
South Africans celebrated her for scoring a prestigious recognition at a young age, 21.
However, a few trolls called out Elaine on social media for not attaining Tyla’s level despite her exposure to the international scene.
“Tyla is slowly becoming what we wanted Elaine to be, she’s really gone ey,” a tweep wrote.

The same Elaine still based in the US, signed to Columbia Records & had studio sessions with Drake?
Just say you don’t know what artist development is and wanted to call her ugly for no reason. https://t.co/ziOcemNJiO

Elaine didn’t need to fit in “American beauty standards” she was purely recognised for her talent, her unsustainable performance as an international act was solely caused by poor management and lack of quality executives. https://t.co/sGET6DlSsR

I need y’all to stop disrespecting Elaine just because you don’t find her attractive. It’s about the music not about who can shake their ass or whatever bullshit y’all trying to make this about ? TF pic.twitter.com/TMChKFUMrF
