South African singer Tyla has come under criticism from some Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter) following the announcement of her upcoming APOP World Tour, which includes a performance in Lagos.
The Grammy-winning singer recently unveiled the tour schedule, revealing that she will perform in Lagos on December 22 before wrapping up the tour with concerts in Cape Town on January 4 and Johannesburg on January 9.

However, the announcement sparked mixed reactions online, with several Nigerian social media users calling for the cancellation of the Lagos concert.
Many of those opposing the concert linked their reactions to the recurring reports of xenophobic attacks against other African nationals in South Africa.
Some users argued that, given the history of attacks on foreign Africans, including Nigerians, it would be inappropriate to host the South African singer in Lagos unless there is visible progress in addressing the issue.
