The Nigeria date vanished from the South African superstar’s world tour schedule; Tyla has yet to address it publicly.
Tyla, the multiple GRAMMY-winner known for her hit single ‘Water’, has quietly dropped Lagos from her ‘A*POP World Tour’. The news comes days after her planned December 22 concert in Nigeria was removed from her official website.
Burna was issued a warning; threatened to be killed years ago if he ever stepped foot in SA over his stance against AKA’s xenophobic stance. what did you all do about it? Instead you crucified your own. We did absolutely nothing.. They didn’t care. He took it like a gee; moved on…

Prominent Nigerian figures—including VeryDarkMan and OAP Dotun—urged fans to boycott the show. They described the campaign as a symbolic protest against the alleged Xenophobic/Afrophobic attacks targeting Nigerians in South Africa. She has yet to explain the change or confirm whether the concert has been cancelled, postponed or temporarily removed.
Tyla is still set to close the tour with shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg come January.
