Watch Tyla Bake Malva Pudding & Mix Cocktails on Quenlin Blackwell’s “Feeding Starving Celebrities”

Tyla Brings South African Flavor to “Feeding Starving Celebrities” With Malva Pudding and Real Talk

Grammy-winning South African sensation Tyla is swapping the recording booth for the kitchen, and honestly, we’re here for it. The “Water” hitmaker recently linked up with YouTube personality Quenlin Blackwell for a deliciously entertaining episode of “Feeding Starving Celebrities,” serving up homemade malva pudding, signature cocktails, and unfiltered conversation that gave fans a whole new side of the global star.

The episode centered around preparing malva pudding, that beloved South African dessert that’s been gracing family tables for generations with its sticky-sweet caramel sauce and moist, cake-like texture. Between measuring ingredients and mixing bowls, Tyla dropped some kitchen wisdom that any home cook would appreciate. Her golden rule? Always brown your onions first. According to the singer, letting them properly caramelize before adding anything else builds a flavor foundation that transforms the entire dish. As the two worked through the recipe, the conversation naturally flowed into Tyla’s world beyond music—from her first encounter with rapper Future to navigating the complexities of international stardom. She also addressed the noise surrounding Yung Miami’s comments about her single “Chanel,” breaking down the timeline and explaining how creative ideas get passed around in studio sessions.

The timing of this appearance couldn’t be more perfect. Fresh off the July 24, 2026 release of her sophomore album A*POP, Tyla is clearly in a comfortable space, embracing this new era with confidence and ease. Watching her share a piece of South African culinary tradition while candidly discussing her journey made the episode feel authentic and refreshingly low-key—less celebrity interview, more hanging out with a friend who just happens to be crushing the global music scene. It’s these moments of cultural connection that remind us why Tyla’s rise has been so magnetic.
