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.

“I’m so grateful to God for entrusting me with a soul, what a gift! The most peaceful and handsome boy ever, he just loves his milk.”
“Oh, my push gift came just before the push for extra motivation, and thank you my Odogwu, this motivation worked 10000 percent!!” she added.
Nigerian actress Ruth Kadiri speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and stated how families are now struggling in the country and many have started struggling with basic feeding.
The actress lamented the neglect of the people and how serious things are in the country.
“The cost of tomatoes is now so high. Like, somebody will use ₦5,000 to buy pepper and tomato. Like, ₦5,000. While somebody else out there is probably earning ₦25,000, ₦30,000, ₦40,000, or ₦50,000. But you are only using ₦5,000 to buy tomatoes and peppers.”
