South African singer Tyla made a big splash at the 2024 BET Awards by winning both Best New Artist and Best International Act. This is a notable achievement as it makes her only the third non-U.S. artist to win Best New Artist, following in the footsteps of Nicki Minaj and Sam Smith.
Tyla’s rapid rise to fame is marked by her hit song “Water,” which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January. She also won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in February. These achievements highlight her growing impact on the global music scene.
