Tyla dragged for scoring Afrobeat award
Tyla gets criticized for her consistent win in the global stage.
In a heated online debate, famous Twitter user Kussman took to the platform to criticize South African singer Tyla, claiming that she benefits from the global Afrobeat wave without truly contributing to the genre.
His statement, “Tyla the only artiste reaping the fruits of Afrobeat to the world with zero contribution,” sparked intense reactions.
Many agreed with Kussman’s stance, echoing sentiments that Tyla’s success doesn’t align with her contributions to Afrobeat.
Some critical comments included statements like, “Canceled her world tour and blamed it on her ACL” and “She never do one arena as we speak, monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.”
Others accused Tyla of hindering other Afrobeat artists, saying, “She is holding Ayra Starr back. We need to cancel her” and “Collected an AfroBeats award and did ‘tueh’ on the genre.”
Despite the criticism, Tyla has loyal fans who came to her defense.
One fan replied, “The hatred on the girl is too much. Y’all should rest,” highlighting the divided opinions on the rising star’s impact on Afrobeat.
The conversation shows the growing complexity of genre representation as music spreads globally.
