Read Time:50 Second
Nigerian On-Air Personality, OAP, Do2dtun, has blasted South African singer, Tyla, over her acceptance speech at the 2024 MTV VMA Awards.
Tyla, who was nominated alongside Tems, Ayra Starr, Davido and Burna Boy, won the Best Afrobeats Award.
Speaking at the event, Tyla faulted the grouping of African artistes under the Afrobeats label, despite the genre’s significant influence and success.
She further claimed to be an Amapiano singer and not Afrobeats.
Reacting to her comment in a series of posts on his X handle, Do2dtun slammed her for receiving an award which didn’t represent her art, considering her Amapiano claim.
He wrote, “Aunty @tyla aka am not Afrobeats, I am Amapiano. We have heard you but your song “Water” is not amapiano either. If you thought you were categorized in a wrong category, you should have given the award back or denounced the nomination.
“You clearly took an award that didn’t represent you or your sound from that statement you made.”
