It seems like there’s no stopping music sensation, Tyla, as she racks up more awards.<\/p>\n

Congratulatory messages are still pouring for the Grammy award-winning music sensation after bagging yet another award – this time at the MTV’s Video Music Awards for her viral song \u201cWater\u201d<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old walked away with the Best Afrobeats Award at the prestigious ceremony held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.<\/p>\n

She continues to fly the South African flag high and became the first South African artist and first African female artist to win a VMA award.<\/p>\n

The “Water” hitmaker was up against the likes of Ayra Starr featuring Giveon; Burna Boy; Chris Brown featuring Davido and Lojay; Tems; and Usher with Pheelz.<\/p>\n

Accepting the award, Tyla she paid tribute to them and spoke about the diversity of African music.<\/p>\n

“This is just a big moment for Africa, African music. The global impact that ‘Water’ has had on the world proves that African music can be pop music too,” the 22-year-old said.<\/p>\n
