Davido, Burna Boy And Arya Loose At 68th Grammy
South African singer Tyla claimed the spotlight in Los Angeles after winning Best African Music Performance at the 68th Grammy Awards, held on Sunday, February 1, 2026.
The 24-year-old artiste edged out Nigerian stars Davido, Burna Boy and Ayra Starr with her hit song Push 2 Start.
The win makes Tyla the first performer to take the category twice since it was created, following her earlier victory for Water.
The award, introduced in 2024, recognises songs that reflect African sounds, culture and musical identity on the global stage.
Push 2 Start gained wide attention through strong streaming numbers and viral dance trends online, helping it travel far beyond the continent.
The song blends amapiano with pop and R&B, a style that has become central to Tyla’s growing international appeal.
This year’s nominations were dominated by African heavyweights, especially from Nigeria, once again showing the depth of talent across the continent.
Tyla’s latest win adds to her fast-rising career and reinforces Africa’s expanding influence in global music.
