It’s no surprise that the first ever Grammy award for the Best African Music Performance goes to Tyla, the South African singer/songwriter who shot to global fame following the success of her single ‘Water.” The same single which won her her first Grammy award at 22 years old.

“What the HECK?! Oh my gosh, guys, this is crazy! I never thought I’d say I won a Grammy at 22 years old,” she said, as she got on stage to speak after receiving her award. “If you don’t know me, my name is Tyla, I’m from South Africa, and last year God decided to change my whole life,” she added, before going on to thank her team and the Recording Academy for introducing this category.

On what this win meant to her, Tyla said: "It means so much... I've always been an advocate for African music. I love African music. It's the music that I make. It's the music that I listen to all the time and I've believed in it for so long. So, I'm just happy that it's getting its recognition."

A Grammy is a cherished possession and when asked where I first would go, Tyla said: "My father already told me it's going in his room."

Prior to the show, Tyla spoke to Billboard about the success of "Water" and being honored to be nominated in the first African music award at the Grammys.

Damn
She's cute




See the Nigerians she displaced

Normal normal, Nigerian music is nowadays just for the streets to dance sef

No meaningful lyrics again
Just heavy marketing and influencing

Lol😂, very sad day in Naija after they claimed they now own amapiano. Grammy's will humble you for sure 😂😂😂

Congrats to her

Let's put sentiments aside. That song 'Water' deserves to win that category. The song is a massive hit. Big ups to Davido and Burna Boy, they made us proud

You sound desperate. First and foremost, SA people love their own music, close second is American music.

I don't follow the Nigerian or South African music industry as my mind is overwhelmed with making my Momma and Poppa proud; this may be because SuperOnyi hasn't been in the four walls of social media for so long.

However, I must admit the song the OP shared here is actually good enough to get a Grammy award and although she doesn't have the type of boobs I crave for; I'm going to love her in my bed.

Noisemaker Davido suppose dey calm down by now. B4 and after whizzy won Grammy, e no dey make noise. Davido say no be by winning Grammy them dey take know who sabi. He thinks its by popularity them go take win am

I don tell you the fact

MzansiCoolio:
Nigerians have been claiming they've outdone SA on their own amapiano genre. Grammys and the world disagreed.

lool me no send that bald headed turtle ninja called davido....but that tyla song that won the grammy is an afrobeat song not amapiano...that's a lesson to nigerians to leave what's not theirs and go back to their roots

I hate davido
