Tyla Crowned Top U.S. Afrobeats Artist for 2025 by Billboard

Tyla has been crowned the Top U.S. Afrobeats Artist for 2025 by Billboard, becoming the first artist to hold the top position consecutively for two years.

The recognition comes after a successful year with 11 chart entries, collaborations with Nigerian superstar Wizkid, and hit songs like "Shake" and "Water." This achievement solidifies Tyla's presence in the U.S. Afrobeats scene and underscores the enduring strength of Nigerian talent in the global music industry.

Additionally, the accolade follows the public recognition of Nigerian legend 2baba by Billboard earlier in the year.
