#sproutyourmind

Please explain to me, how is it petty to stick up for an artist who’s work is being stolen? If Kehlani had called/messaged Tyla about it, Tyla would easily be able to ignore it and continue doing what she’s doing, and she would still be able to get away with it because all of you blindly follow wolfmovement without questioning shit. It’d be a particularly easy task to get away with because Tyla does have a larger following than Naomi. It’s not right to steal from another artist simply because you have a larger following. It’s 2016–how do you expect to get away with this shit?

How can you follow Tyla on both tumblr and Twitter, but still not notice that she literally takes quotes and posts from tumblr and rewords them on her Twitter to appear as an original thought?

How can you say she posted proof on snapchat, if all she showed were a bunch of written journals? There is a huge difference between writing in a journal and creating art. There is nothing lower than stealing someone else’s art and claiming it as your own. Art comes from within; it’s SELF-expression. You blindly support someone that gets mad whenever someone does something slightly similar to her, while she goes off and steals someone else’s ideas and movement? And do you not find it odd that she deleted the posts that got her called out, only to say on snapchat she might just release a journal she’s had completed? Are you seriously going to believe that what she tags as her own poetry/writing is in anyway similar to what she got called out on? They’re not. None of the messages are the same. The style is not the same. THINK.

Have you even bothered to educate yourselves on sproutyourmind or @ognayhomie ? Do you not see that the pictures Tyla posted (and deleted) of the book displayed simplified drawings of sproutyourmind? Artists develop their own style. This is because, again, art is individual and an expression of oneself. How can you not see that those drawing Tyla posted were the same style as what Naomi has been creating for years.

What Tyla did/is doing is fucking shameful. I applaud Kehlani for calling her out the way that she did. Don’t play yourself thinking Tyla hasn’t put shit on blast via social media when she could’ve just kept it between her and her “friends.” Need I remind you all of that public apology she made? Honestly, after all of this, I think she saw this shit coming and she started trying to cover her ass from that point on. But I digress. That public apology was to alter your guys’ perception of her. You wanna talk leaving things off social media? Then why praise Tyla for posting an apology she could’ve just texted Naomi? You’re all brainwashed.

And lastly! HOW MANY of you “supporters” have gotten blocked by Tyla? Do you not find it odd that Tyla blocks anyone that questions her/her actions rather than actually defending herself? That’s how you know shit is fake. And please do not try to play yourself saying its better to not “waste your energy” or whatever. Because if you’re pushing something that you truly believe in, you fight back anyone questioning it with straight facts.
