2024 Billboard Music Awards: Tyla wins Top Afrobeats Artist
South African singer Tyla wins the Top Afrobeats Artist title at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, surpassing Nigerian stars like Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Asake.
Tyla’s meteoric rise to fame has been fueled by her chart-topping hit, Water, which also earned her the Top Afrobeats Song award at the same ceremony.
The global Afrobeats scene which was once dominated by Nigerian artists has taken a different turn since the South African singer’s fame.
