Afrobeats singer Joeboy has thrown his weight behind South African music star Tyla following her victory at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
Tyla clinched the Best African Music Performance category with her hit track Push 2 Start, edging out Nigerian heavyweights including Davido, Omah Lay, Wizkid, Ayra Starr and Burna Boy.
Speaking during a recent interview with Jay On Air, Joeboy admitted he had personally hoped Davido would take home the award but maintained that Tyla’s win was well deserved.
“Personally, I was rooting for Davido to win the Best African Music Performance category at the Grammys, but you can’t take it away from Tyla. She is an amazing artist, whether you accept it or not. She really put in the work,” he said.
The singer added that despite the mixed reactions trailing the announcement, Tyla’s dedication and talent justified her victory.
“People can be angry all they want, but she deserved the Grammy win. I can’t fault her triumph,” he said.
Joeboy also hinted at the possibility of working with Tyla in the future, praising her artistry and strong work ethic.
Tyla’s Grammy win has continued to spark debate among fans and some artists, with differing opinions emerging over the outcome of the category.
