South African star Tyla continues her winning streak, bagging two prestigious awards at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

The global star took home the titles for Top Afrobeats Artist and Top Afrobeats Song for her viral hit Water after bagging 8 nominations.

This marks yet another milestone in her career, as she continues to make waves in the Afrobeats genre on a global scale.

The awards come during a year where Tyla has garnered significant recognition in Afrobeats categories, earning accolades across various platforms.

However, her success has sparked debate on social media, with some fans questioning her prominence in a genre traditionally dominated by West African artists.

Her chart-topping single Water has been a major catalyst for her success, dominating streaming platforms and earning her widespread acclaim.
