According to Guardian the Recording Academy announced Tyla as the winner during the premiere ceremony, where she prevailed over nominees including Burna Boy, Davido featuring Omah Lay, Eddy Kenzo and Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid. The prize was presented at the Peacock Theatre earlier in the evening.

Her victory makes her the first artist to claim this particular category twice since it was created, a development commentators say signals sustained international interest in contemporary African sounds.

Back home, fans and colleagues celebrated across social platforms and Tyla, who has been teasing a follow-up titled T2 told local radio that the new record ‘is gonna be very fun’ and will reflect her life over the past year (ECR).

Tyla did not make an onstage acceptance speech; in a brief backstage exchange she expressed disappointment at missing the chance to address supporters directly. The win cements a fast-moving international trajectory that industry writers call a defining moment for South African pop on the world stage.
