South African pop star Tyla has won her second MTV Video Music Award in the Best Afrobeats category on Sunday at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
The singer won the award for her song Push 2 Start. The video has 109 million views on YouTube and over 350 million streams on Spotify.
The announcement on Monday morning marked another milestone in the rising global influence of African music, as Tyla celebrated her achievement with fans across social media.
This win underscores the growing recognition of African artists on the international stage and highlights the continued dominance of Afrobeats in global music trends.
Last year, Tyla made history as the first South African to win a Moonman.
Tyla’s victory comes alongside several other African artists who earned nominations this year, including Nigerian stars Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Ayra Starr.
Africa is making a big impact on global music, and its influence on pop and Afrobeats is growing worldwide.
