Tyla earns 3 VMA nominations

2y By Limpho Nonkonyane

International singer and songwriter Tyla Seethal, professionally known as Tyla has been nominated for yet another award.

The 22-year-old joins some of the most recognised artists worldwide as she was nominated for the 2024 Video Music Awards (VMA), which according to Essence, sets to celebrate the impact these artists have made over the past year in the music industry.

In one year, Tyla has become the youngest Grammy winner in the country, 2-time BET Award winner and 3-time nominee for the VMA under the categories: Best New Artist, Best R&B — Water, Tyla and Best Afrobeats — Water, Tyla.

Despite being a 3-time nominee, one X (formerly known as Twitter) user felt that the Afrobeat category nomination was not necessary given that it was not her genre of music, adding that, African music was more diverse than just being labelled Afrobeats.
