It’s worth noting that in the year 2023, the Grammy Awards introduced a new category called Best African Music Performance. This category aimed to recognize the biggest songs in Africa for that year. Among all the nominees, Tyla received her first and only Grammy nomination, which eventually became her first Grammy award in history. This came as a surprise to many fans on social media who had anticipated the award going to Davido or Burna Boy.
This sparked an intense debate on social media with celebrities as well as fans of popular Nigerian artists all taking to social media to express their distaste about the announcement and win.
