South African singer Tyla has acknowledged the impact of Afrobeats after securing the Best Afrobeats, Best African Act, and Best R&B titles at the 2024 MTV EMAs.
She out-performed notable competitors, including Ayra Starr, DBN Gogo, Diamond Platnumz, and TitoM & Yuppe.
During her acceptance speech, Tyla praised Afrobeats, saying, “Thank you to Afrobeats, it has opened many doors for African music.”
This reference to Afrobeats follows her 2024 VMAs victory, where she showcased her Amapiano background with her popular song “Water,” which also features Afrobeats elements.
Tyla outperformed well-known Nigerian artists like Asake, Rema, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, and Tems at both the VMAs and EMAs awards ceremony.
