South African music sensation, Tyla, has clinched the Best Afrobeats Award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), marking her second consecutive win in the category.

The singer earned the coveted prize for her chart-topping single “PUSH 2 START”, triumphing over Nigerian heavyweights including Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Wizkid.

This year’s victory follows her historic 2024 win for “Water”, which catapulted her to global stardom and cemented her as one of Africa’s most influential new-generation artists.

Tyla’s success underscores the increasing global recognition of African music, while also highlighting Afrobeats’ sustained dominance on international stages.

With back-to-back wins, the 23-year-old continues to expand her reach, proving that the African sound is not just a fleeting trend but a cultural force reshaping the global music industry.
