Tyla’s nominated tracks include “Water,” “Truth or Dare,” and “Jump,” featuring collaborations with Gunna and Skillibeng. Her remarkable entries in the same category as fellow African artists Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems emphasize the vibrant and diverse sounds emerging from Africa, particularly in the Afrobeats genre.
In addition to Tyla’s nominations, Tems has also received a nod for her hit song “Me & U.” The competition for the Top Afrobeats Artist title is fierce, showcasing the talent and creativity of African musicians who are making waves internationally.
The 2024 Billboard Music Awards will take place on December 12, promising an exciting night filled with performances and celebrations of diverse musical talent. With such a strong representation from African artists, this year’s awards are set to be a landmark event for the continent’s music scene.
