South African star Tyla has once again made history at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), winning the coveted Best Afrobeats Award for her hit single “Push 2 Start.”

The rising global sensation beat out a stacked lineup of Nigerian powerhouses including Burna Boy, Asake, Rema, Tems, and Wizkid to take home the award.

This marks Tyla’s second consecutive win in the category, following her groundbreaking 2024 victory for “Water,” which became a worldwide anthem and cemented her place as one of Africa’s biggest exports.

Her latest win underscores the increasing global recognition of African music and the continued dominance of Afrobeats on the international stage. Tyla’s success also highlights the growing diversity within the genre, proving that Afrobeats is not only shaping world music but also bridging cultures across Africa and beyond.

With back-to-back VMAs under her belt, Tyla is showing no signs of slowing down, and fans are eagerly watching to see how she will continue to push African music into new frontiers.
