South African singer Tyla defeated Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems to win two Afrobeats categories at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards ceremony, which was held on Thursday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The singer won “Top Afrobeats Song” for her hit track “Water” and also clinched the title of Top Afrobeats Artist”, triumphing among her eight nominations.

Tyla has been on a roll since the start of the year, dominating the Afrobeats category on the international awards and beating Nigerian music stars to the crown.
In September, the South African rising star was announced the winner of “Best Afrobeats” Music Video at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) with her hit song “Water” beating Burna Boy, Ayra Starr and Tems to the top spot.

Tyla’s debut single, Water, has earned her several awards, including the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in February 2024.
Meanwhile, Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift won the Billboard Music Awards, the most decorated artiste in the award’s history.
She bagged ten awards at the ceremony, including ‘Top Artist’, ‘Top Billboard 200 Album’, and ‘Top Hot 100 Songwriter’, against her 16 nominations.
