South African singer Tyla has taken home the coveted Top Afrobeats Artist award at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, beating out top Nigerian artists such as Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Asake.

Tyla’s chart-topping hit single Water also earned her the Top Afrobeats Song award, solidifying her position as a rising star in the global Afrobeats scene.

The win marks a significant shift in the Afrobeats landscape, which has historically been dominated by Nigerian artists. Tyla’s success has paved the way for other South African artists to break into the global market.

The 2024 Billboard Music Awards ceremony recognized excellence in various music genres, with Tyla’s double win being one of the highlights of the night.
