Collaboration and creative approach

Maglera Doe Boy and singer Tyla are signed to Epic Records. The rapper said he would like to record a song with her, but believes such a collaboration should be creatively justified rather than happen simply because both are from South Africa. He also mentioned that Tyla invited him onstage during the South African Music Awards in August.

The artist called producer Swizz Beatz a mentor and said he helped him build professional connections, including introducing him to Lil Uzi Vert in New York. Maglera Doe Boy also noted A$AP Rocky’s influence on his vision of fashion, visual art, and creativity. Speaking about his acting debut, the rapper emphasized the importance of a deliberate approach to storytelling and character development.
