The rising star dominated the Afrobeats categories, triumphing over industry heavyweights like Burna Boy, Asake, Rema, and Tems.
Tyla’s worldwide success with “Water” earned her the coveted “Top Afrobeats Song” award and the title of “Top Afrobeats Artist,” solidifying her position as a major influence in the genre.
With these victories, Tyla has completed an incredible year in which she has continuously outperformed Africa’s top players on the global scene. Her eight nominations at this year’s Billboard Music Awards underscore her growing influence.
By winning the first-ever Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance with “Water” earlier in 2024, Tyla also created history. She defeated fierce competition from Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, and Tems to win the MTV Video Music Awards’ “Best Afrobeats Music Video” title in September.
In addition to becoming a worldwide anthem, Tyla’s first single, “Water,” cemented her status as a pioneer in the Afrobeats movement.
Taylor Swift, meanwhile, continued to hold the title of most decorated artist in the history of the Billboard Music Awards, winning ten prizes, including “Top Artist” and “Top Billboard 200 Album.”
