South African singer Tyla has announced a major concert in Lagos, Nigeria , but the announcement has already sparked controversy online, with some Nigerians calling for a boycott of the event.
Critics accuse Tyla of remaining silent during the tensions and incidents involving Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa. They argue that she should have used her platform to speak out and condemn what was happening.
Some Nigerians say they feel humiliated by the situation and are now calling on others to reject Tyla’s concert in Nigeria, arguing that she should not be welcomed to make money in the country while remaining silent during the controversy.
Many are also using the situation to emphasize the importance of African unity.
