Tyla Wins Best Afrobeats Award at MTV VMAs 2025


Tyla Wins Best Afrobeats Award at MTV VMAs 2025

South African export Tyla has once again made history at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) 2025, held at the UBS Arena in New York. The global star walked away with the Best Afrobeats Award for her track “Push 2 Start,” beating some of the biggest names in the industry.

The 2025 Best Afrobeats category was one of the most competitive, featuring stars such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, Asake, Shenseea, Skillibeng, and “Calm Down” hitmaker Rema. Tyla’s win marks her second consecutive victory at the VMAs after securing the same award in 2024 with her viral hit “Water.”

In her acceptance speech, Tyla expressed gratitude to Africa and her supporters:

“I’m very excited. The competition was very tough. Shout-out to all the nominees, shout-out to Africa and my team. It’s just a blessing to be here winning another award.”

Her heartfelt words reflected not only her pride as an African artist but also her excitement for the future.

Tyla also teased her fans with news of an upcoming project, promising that her next album is on the way:

“It’s coming and it’s coming in hot. Like for real, just keep an eye out.”

This announcement has sparked anticipation among fans, who are eager to see what direction the singer takes after the global success of “Water” and “Push 2 Start.”

Beyond the music, Tyla turned heads with her red carpet fashion. She wore a vintage Chanel mini-dress once modeled by Claudia Schiffer in the 1990s, paired with layered gold jewelry. Her bold and elegant look became one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the night.

Other Big Winners at the MTV VMAs 2025

While Tyla’s win was a major highlight, the night also celebrated other global icons:

  • Lady Gaga: Artist of the Year, Best Direction, and Best Collaboration with Bruno Mars.
  • Ariana Grande: Video of the Year and Best Pop for “Brighter Days Ahead.”
  • Mariah Carey: Video Vanguard Award.
  • Busta Rhymes: Visionary Award.
  • Ricky Martin: Latin Icon Award.

Tyla’s consecutive wins at the MTV VMAs highlight the rising influence of Afrobeats on the world stage. Her success represents not only her own career growth but also a milestone for African music globally.

As Afrobeats continues to dominate charts and awards worldwide, Tyla has positioned herself as one of the genre’s most powerful voices.
