Babes aspires to collaborate with Beyoncé and Tyla

During a viral interview, when asked which artists she hopes to work with next, she immediately named the Ego songstress and the Water artist.

“Which artist would you want to feature and why?” she was asked. To which Babes boldly answered, “Beyoncé and Tyla. Only.”

When queried about her reasoning, she responded, “Beyoncé is just like me; she is stubborn. Tyla as well. I don’t think the rest can defeat me. I am the top dog, from dancing to singing. So, none of these people can defeat me.”
