South African sensation Tyla has made history by winning her first MTV VMA Award for Best Afrobeats, thanks to her viral hit “Water”.
The 22-year-old singer continues to rise on the global stage, with her unique sound capturing international attention.
While celebrating her win, Tyla took a moment to reflect on the broader scope of African music. “This is an incredible moment, but I feel it’s important to acknowledge that African music is so diverse.
It’s more than just Afrobeats,” she remarked, advocating for greater recognition of Africa’s musical variety.
The 2024 VMAs also saw Taylor Swift dominate the evening with seven wins, while Eminem set a new record for most solo male artist wins.
