Tyla removes Lagos from ‘A*POP World Tour’ amid Nigeria’s boycott row
The Nigeria date was removed from the South African superstar’s world tour. Tyla has yet to address it publicly.
Tyla, the multiple GRAMMY-winning South African global star known for her hit single ‘Water’, has quietly dropped Lagos from her ‘A*POP World Tour’. This happened days after her planned December 22 concert in Nigeria. According to the the singer’s official tour website, the Nigerian date disappeared.
Prominent Nigerian figures—including VeryDarkMan and OAP Dotun—had urged fans to boycott the show, describing the campaign as a symbolic protest against the alleged Xenophobic/Afrophobic attacks targeting Nigerians in South Africa. Neither Tyla, nor her management, has explained the change or confirmed whether the concert has been cancelled, postponed or temporarily removed.
Despite the fallout, Tyla is still set to close the tour with shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg come January.
