Coco Jones' Hot Mic Sparks Controversy After Awkward Livestream With Tylil

Singer Coco Jones found herself trending on social media after a hot mic moment during a livestream with popular YouTuber and streamer Tylil. The incident happened as Tylil tried to retrieve Coco’s microphone during a public event. Not realizing the mics were still live, Coco was overheard telling her colleagues, “This man is on live, y’all. It’s for promo, it’s for promo.”

The event took place during a promotional appearance for Jones’ recent single Why Not More? Social media quickly ran with the clip, leading to viral discussions on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. The hashtag #ItsForPromo trended on Twitter, with users posting memes and mixed opinions about the exchange. Some users criticized the pop star, interpreting her comment as dismissive or disrespectful towards Tylil, while others argued the statement was simply honest and typical of celebrity appearances, where promotion is often the main purpose.

Minutes after the comment, Jones’ team reportedly stepped in and asked Tylil to end the livestream, which he quickly did without issue. Clips circulated showing Tylil looking visibly disappointed, fueling more debates about professionalism and the authenticity of celebrity interactions. Tylil later addressed the situation on his Instagram Stories, saying he understood the confusion and held no hard feelings toward Jones or her team. As of now, Jones has not publicly commented on the incident.
