Tyla Urges for Broader Recognition of African Music Beyond Afrobeats
South African singer Tyla recently addressed a key issue at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where she received the award for Best Afrobeats Song.
During her acceptance speech, Tyla highlighted a concern regarding the Western tendency to label all African music as Afrobeats.
She acknowledged the genre’s significant impact, noting that it has indeed opened numerous doors for African artists.
However, Tyla emphasized that African music is far more diverse and should not be confined to a single genre.
Tyla, who hails from South Africa and champions the Amapiano genre, pointed out that her music represents a distinct cultural expression.
She reflected on the global success of her track ‘Water,’ which she believes demonstrates that African music can thrive in various genres, including pop.
While she expressed pride in the success of Afrobeats and extended her appreciation to fellow Afrobeats artists like Tems, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Rema, and Lojay, she underscored the importance of recognizing the broader spectrum of African musical styles.

Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan revealed that he was the one who called for the arrest of activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who is currently in custody in Benin, Edo State.
“He was arrested yesterday night. In all honesty, I initiated the call that led to his arrest. I did. And first of all, I’m really disappointed in everything, but I would wait for him to come out, and this time, I would want him to use his mouth to say the truth about what happened in Auchi.”
VeryDarkMan revealed that he made the call because the activist was lying instead of revealing the truth.
Media personality Dorcas Shola Fapson, also known as DSF, gives advice to Nigerians regarding relocating abroad.
During a recent podcast episode, the lady advised Nigerians that if they are living comfortably and earning well in Nigeria, then there is no need to relocate out.
She said: “People think you’re abroad and you’re making pounds. They could be abroad doing a cleaner job, making however much per hour. You probably have better opportunities here in Nigeria.”
She spoke on the misconception of relocating out and how most of it is not real or no one emphasizes on the hard part.
