American media personality Joe Budden has slammed South African star Tyra.
In a recent episode of the podcast, the announcer said he finds the singer annoying and has a terrible personality.
“Listen, I don't think I like Tyra's personality. Someone should check her out. She has no understanding of American culture.”
“She gives off this air of arrogant, haughty African – I don't know how to explain it, but it's very unpleasant, almost like she expects people to bow down at her feet,” he said.
Joe didn't stop there, telling us what happened between the Grammy Award-winning star and Usher at a recent concert.
A video clip of the incident went viral on social media and garnered numerous reactions, with the majority praising Tyra for making sure Usher didn't rub up against her.
Joe Budden accused Tyra of being unprofessional at the event.
“When Usher tried to do a showmanship dance while his record was playing in front of 20,000 people, she ducked it,” he said.
South Africans and fans of the South African superstar have taken to various platforms to condemn Joe while also defending the 22-year-old player.
“She's African so why does she have to act like an American? Let's abandon our daughter and let her be herself,” commented an Instagram user.
“Maybe she didn't want her father to see this. This is so weird!!!!!!,” wrote actress Pearl Thusi.
