The presentation happened during her live performance set, drawing massive cheers from thousands of fans.
Tyla, who has experienced a meteoric rise globally since her breakout hit, performed a medley of her chart-topping tracks. The presentation of the plaque cements her position as a leading face of the global Amapiano and Pop crossover movement.

Tyla’s recognition emphasizes the growing shift of global music infrastructure toward the southern African soundscape, particularly Amapiano. Her ability to command mainstream US pop attention while headlining major urban festivals alongside Afrobeats giants shows she is a crucial bridge for African music’s long-term commercial longevity.
