Watch Tyla Prank Call Central Cee and Her Mother, Who Believes Her Joke That She's Pregnant
During a prank call segment for 'Elle,' Tyla picked British rapper Central Cee and her mother, Sharleen as targets.
Tyla nearly made British rapper Central Cee and her mother, Sharleen Seethal, panic when she prank-called them during a hilarious Elle segment.
As a companion to her new Elle cover story, the Grammy-winning singer dialed up Central Cee after being given a prompt to call someone and tell them that her family needed somewhere to stay until their Airbnb was ready. Tyla claimed that her phone was broken and that she was using a different phone in the meantime.
"I'm supposed to go to London tomorrow and I just have a problem," she told the "Did It First" artist. "Literally like my whole family is meeting me there and I booked and Airbnb and everything [...] They said the wait is going to be like a few hours before they can actually get in so I was just wondering if they could like maybe wait at your place."
Tyla then told Cee that they'd be arriving in fifteen minutes and that she'd land tomorrow, to which he responded, "This is the maddest question I think anyone's ever asked me."
But the singer kept rolling with the joke, telling Cee that it would be for up to five hours. "How do you know I have a place that even accommodates that many people?" he asked.
After telling him that it would be for five family members, Tyla revealed that it was a joke after Cee almost agreed to it. "That's how you know I'm a good guy, though," he joked.
After pranking her manager Colin Gayle and director Nabil Elderkin (who directed her music videos for "Breathe Me" and "Truth or Dare"), Tyla rang her mother, choosing to tell her that she was pregnant.
"Are you able to go somewhere else? And don't tell dad," Tyla told her mom.
"I think I'm pregnant," she said after a brief pause.
Tyla laughed silently, but her mother said that she already predicted the news. "I had a feeling for a long time... I swear to God. I had premonitions," Sharleen said. "Why? What happened? Talk to me."
Even after Tyla insisted that she was joking, Sharleen stressed that she'd had a premonition.
But the artist probably doesn't have time for motherhood at the moment, as she's recording new music and healing from a back injury that halted her plans to tour this year.
"Your back is such an important part of your body, so I just want to take my time," she recently told People. "I'm looking forward to just getting better and getting stronger."
