Tyla called the win bittersweet because of the tendency to always group African artists under AfrobeatsSouth African singer Tyla was one of the winners at the 2024 MTV VMAs. At the ceremony, which was held on Wednesday, 11 September 2024, the star won the Best Afrobeats award.Accepting her award at the UBS Arena in Elmont, in New York City, Tyla said the win was bittersweet for her because of the preference by award ceremonies to constantly group African artists under Afrobeats.
"The global impact that 'Water' has had on the world just proves that African music can be pop music too. This is just so special but also bittersweet because I know there's a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats. It's a thing, and even though Afrobeats has run things and has opened so many doors for us, African music is so diverse. It's more than just Afrobeats.
