Just months before her scheduled performance in Nigeria, South African music star Tyla quietly removed Lagos from her official World Tour schedule. The move has fueled speculation and intensified an already heated controversy.
Her December 22 Lagos concert no longer appears on the tour schedule. The change comes as many Nigerians continue to demand a total boycott of South African entertainers over recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa.
Public anger has grown in recent weeks. Reports of attacks on Nigerian nationals and the deportation of more than a thousand Nigerians accused of living illegally in South Africa sparked widespread outrage. Many Nigerians have urged South African artists to face cultural and commercial consequences until the attacks and discrimination stop.
Tyla and her team have not explained why they removed the Lagos date. They have also not confirmed whether they cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled the concert.
The timing has raised questions among fans. Many believe the growing boycott campaign influenced the decision. Others say the strained relationship between Nigeria and South Africa may have played a role.
For now, fans can only wait for Tyla or her management to speak. Until then, the disappearance of the Lagos concert from the tour schedule will likely keep fueling debate across social media and the entertainment industry.
