Below is Tyla speech at UBS Arena in New York giving her speech after becoming 2024 MTV Video Music Awards winner for best Afrobeats category. "The global impact that 'Water' has had on the world just proves that African music can be pop music too...I know there's a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats. It's a thing, and even though Afrobeats has run things and has opened so many doors for us, African music is so diverse. It's more than just Afrobeats."
