In a groundbreaking moment, South African songstress Tyla has etched her name in history by becoming the inaugural winner of the prestigious Best African Music Performance category at the Grammy Awards.

Tyla's chart-topping track, 'Water,' triumphed over formidable competition, including hits like Davido's 'Unavailable,' Asake's 'Amapiano,' Burna Boy's 'City Boys,' and Ayra Starr's 'Rush,' securing her place as the first-ever recipient of this esteemed accolade.

At just 22 years old, Tyla has not only claimed the coveted Grammy but has also become the youngest African artist to achieve this remarkable feat.

On the flip side, despite strong contenders, Davido's 'Timeless' and Burna Boy's 'I Told Them' faced stiff competition and lost out to Shakti's 'This Moment' in the Best Global Music Album category.

Moreover, in the category of Best Global Music Performance, Davido's 'Feel' and Burna Boy's 'Alone' fell short of the Grammy honor, succumbing to the mesmerizing 'Pashto' by Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Zakir Hussain.

Regrettably, these outcomes mean that no Nigerian artist claimed a victory at the 66th Grammy Awards, making Tyla's triumph even more exceptional in this year's global celebration of musical excellence.
