Tyla Makes Grammy History With Second Best African Music Performance Win
South African sensation Tyla has etched her name deeper into global music history after winning her second Grammy Award, taking home the Best African Music Performance accolade in Los Angeles.
The latest win makes her the first artist to claim the category twice since it was introduced in 2024.
“Push 2 Start” Delivers Global Recognition
Tyla secured the award for “Push 2 Start”, a standout single from the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album released in 2024.
The track has been widely praised for its seamless fusion of pop, R&B and Amapiano, reinforcing her reputation as one of Africa’s most innovative crossover artists.
Stiff Competition in Star-Studded Category
The Grammy victory came after Tyla edged out a strong field that included Burna Boy’s “Love,” Davido featuring Omah Lay’s “With You,” “Hope & Love” by Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin, and “Gimme Dat” by Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid.
From “Water” to Grammy Milestones
Tyla first won the Best African Music Performance award in 2024 for her global hit “Water,” becoming the youngest recipient at just 22 years old. Her latest triumph confirms her staying power on the international stage and signals a new era for African pop music at the world’s biggest awards.
A Year of Continued Success
The Grammy win follows “Push 2 Start’s” success at the MTV Video Music Awards, where it claimed the 2025 Afrobeats category, further cementing the song’s global impact and Tyla’s fast-rising legacy.
