Tyla wins big at MTV EMAs

South African amapiano star Tyla has once again proven that she is ready to cement her name in the entertainment industry after successfully claiming multiple awards at this year’s MTV European Music Awards.

The spectacular event which honours and recognises many of the talented and creative talents in music took place on Sunday 10 November in Manchester, England.

While many of the world’s biggest names in music all wowed crowds with their designer-made attire, the highlight of the night came down to the accolades that would be received – and that was when South Africa once again flew its flag high.

After achieving success at this year’s South African Music Awards (SAMA30), Tyla has turned her sights on conquering Europe after recently walking away with three awards in the categories of Best African Act, Afrobeats as well as R&B.

On the night, the singer was accompanied by younger sister Sydney whom she proudly introduced to the rest of her “Tygers” during her acceptance speech.

“For those who don’t know, this is my sister Sydney!” she added before officially expressing her gratitude for winning.

“I can’t believe it. Literally, all the nominees are insane; they have taken Afrobeats so far, and I am so honoured to be winning this award. I just want to thank my team, my family and the ‘Tygers’ for voting for me.”
