After winning the Best Afrobeats award at the VMAs, South African singer Tyla proudly declared, “I come from South Africa, I represent Amapiano.” While she acknowledged her fellow nominees, Tyla emphasized that African music extends beyond Afrobeats, underscoring the rich diversity of the continent’s musical genres. By highlighting Amapiano, a genre rooted in South African house music, she brought attention to the global reach of African sounds, advocating for the recognition of various styles beyond just one category.

Do you really think she’s deserving of the award after just saying her genre of music is amapiano not afrobeats?
