Tyla Triumphs With Three Wins at MTV Europe Music Awards
South African artist Tyla lit up the stage at the 30th MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester, UK, on Sunday, making a powerful mark as she walked away with three prestigious awards.
Her incredible night included a win for Best Afrobeats Artist, where she beat out stiff competition from top Nigerian artists, including Asake, Tems, Rema, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr, proving her influence in the Afrobeats genre.
This award is particularly significant as Afrobeats continues to gain international popularity, with many African artists now gaining global recognition.
Tyla’s winning streak continued with the award for Best African Act, where she once again rose above notable artists like Ayra Starr, Asake, South African DJ and producer DBN Gogo, as well as TitoM & Yuppe, and Tanzanian hitmaker Diamond Platnumz.
This victory underscored her status as a leading artist on the continent, representing the energy and creativity emerging from Africa’s music scene.
Her third triumph of the night came in the Best R&B Artist category, a major achievement as she faced global icons such as Kehlani, SZA, Tinashe, Usher, and Victoria Monét.
To top off her remarkable night, Tyla treated fans to an acoustic performance of her popular track “Water.”
The stripped-down version allowed her vocals to take centre stage, showing the depth of her artistry and connecting with the audience on an intimate level.
“Water” has been a breakthrough hit for Tyla, gathering millions of streams and earning her a dedicated following.
For Nigerian superstar Ayra Starr, the night didn’t bring any wins despite her four nominations for Best African Act, Best New Artist, Best Afrobeats Artist, and Best Push.
Despite the outcome, Ayra’s nominations reflect her rapid rise in the industry and her undeniable talent, which has been capturing attention internationally.
The MTV EMAs have increasingly become a platform for African artists to shine, and Ayra’s nominations highlight the global appeal of Nigerian music.
Tyla’s achievement serves as a reminder of the growing reach and impact of African music, with artists like her at the forefront, bringing African sounds to a global audience.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
