South African singer Tyla solidified her position as a rising star at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, held on Thursday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.  

Tyla claimed two prestigious wins in the Afrobeats categories, beating heavyweights like Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems. She won “Top Afrobeats Song” for her global hit ‘Water’ and was also crowned “Top Afrobeats Artist.”

These victories cap off a remarkable year for Tyla, who has dominated the international Afrobeats scene.

With eight nominations at this year’s Billboard awards, she has consistently outperformed some of Africa’s biggest music icons.

Earlier achievements include winning “Best Afrobeats Music Video” at the MTV Video Music Awards in September for Water, outshining Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, and Tems.

In February, her debut single earned her the inaugural Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance, further cementing her global status.

Tyla’s meteoric rise and groundbreaking accomplishments mark her as a force to be reckoned with in the Afrobeats genre.

Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift further solidified her legacy as the most decorated artist in Billboard Music Awards history.

She took home ten awards, including ‘Top Artist,’ ‘Top Billboard 200 Album,’ and ‘Top Hot 100 Songwriter,’ out of her 16 nominations.

Here is a highlight of some winners from the ceremony:
