Tyla Wins Best New Artist and International Act at 2024 BET Awards
At the 2024 BET Awards on June 30, South African singer Tyla emerged as a standout artist, winning both the Best New Artist and Best International Act awards. Tyla first gained recognition with her single “Water,” which became a global sensation and sparked a popular dance trend on TikTok.
Early on Monday morning, July 1, Tyla was awarded the Best New Artist award, beating out other contenders like Ayra Starr, 41, 4Batz, Bossman Dlow, Fridayy, October London, and Sexyy Red. She also won the Best International Act award, surpassing artists such as Asake, Ayra Starr, and Aya Nakamura (France).
In her acceptance speech, Tyla expressed her gratitude, saying, “This is such a gift to be here. I want to dedicate this one to Africa. I want to dedicate this to all the African superstars before me that didn’t get these opportunities that I’m getting. This is just amazing. Africa to the world, guys.”
Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks on the politics of the country and the upcoming 2027 elections. He shared that President Tinubu should not have a second term, and the current state of Nigeria is enough to prove why.
“The first major decision you made was removing the fuel subsidy, and now business owners are using it as an excuse to exploit customers. When you look around, you’ll see people are truly struggling,” he added.
He also spoke on the money the government keeps borrowing and the tax charges.
Nigerian streamer Carter Efe calls out online, saying that he hasn’t received his cash prize after his win against Portable.
It can be noted that the streamer recently had a boxing match against Portable and won the N50 million cash prize.
However, he shared recently “Dem never give me my money oo. I never see N50 million ooo. I nearly die for that fight, I never see the N50 million. Make dem pay me the N50m oo,” he lamented.
