When it comes to claiming the good for itself, Mzansi does not waste time. And this may explain the reaction to Davido’s latest tweet about Tyla winning a Grammy.
In case you missed it, over the weekend, South African singer Tyla made history as the youngest South African vocalist and the only female of her age so far to win a Grammy—her biggest career boost yet. Back home, there was a huge party.
One of the people who was happy with her victory was Nigerian artist Davido, who took to his X account to congratulate her. What should have been a simple message of goodwill quickly became a cause of contention.
Davido hailed the musician and called her win a “big one for Africa.” Those statements seemed to irritate several South Africans, and they blamed him for it. One X user, Paballo, pointed out that Tyla won a Grammy not for a joint project but for her own release.
Paballo made it clear that it was a “big one for South Africa” rather than the African continent.
for South Africa*
This is not a group project please🙏🏻 https://t.co/m3TcUnrwP9

Mzansi was clearly dissatisfied with the thought of sharing Tyla’s Grammy glory with anyone, as her post had received over 12,000 likes and 300 comments.
