### Tyla Shines Bright at the 2024 BET Awards

The 2024 BET Awards, hosted by Taraji P. Henson at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, was a night to remember, especially for South African singer Tyla. The event, which aired live on BET, featured a vibrant opening performance by Megan Thee Stallion, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Tyla, overwhelmed with joy, accepted her award in an elegant all-black dress. During her heartfelt acceptance speech, she expressed deep gratitude to her team and family for their unwavering support, which she credited as crucial to her journey. She also praised the BET Awards for their dedication to African artists, acknowledging the platform they provide to celebrate the diverse cultures of musicians from the continent.

“I am very happy. Guys, I did not prepare anything but I just want to say thank you to my tigers, my family, my team. Thank you to BET for always pushing the culture,” Tyla said.

At just 22, Tyla’s international achievements are remarkable. In addition to her BET Award, she also won the 2024 Best African Music Performance category at the Grammys. Her single “Water” surpassed renowned Nigerian artists like Burna Boy, Asake, and Ayra Starr, securing an award that garnered significant attention across Africa.

The recognition of African talent at the BET Awards has been consistent, with previous winners including Ghanaian artists like Black Sherif and Sarkodie. Tyla’s success at this year’s ceremony underscores the growing influence and appreciation of African music on the global stage.
