[SthembileUtue-idtd]

Love how she explains that not all African music is all afrobeats but actually diverse

Very cutesy very mindful very considerate

[tebatsomajane]

Oooh baby, she ate this acceptance speech! Hopefully the international community is listening and realise Africa is not just the afrobeats (we love afrobeats) genre. Well done Tyla! South Africa is proud of you! ❤️🇿🇦

[ashleytaveras]

Congratulations Tyla. You are golden and made South Africa proud!!! 🇿🇦

[Meenah]

“Im South African and I represent amapiano “ very good clearifcation I love her for that ❤

[douaa]

as a North African, she really touched me with this speech about the diversity of the African music, because it doesn't just include afro beats, it also includes Gnawa, Chaabi, Tarab Andalousi and many more that are very common in North Africa

[sahilbhallaa]

I am loving her confidence and so happy for her.

[sportsnumber]

She speaks with so much authority and confidence💪❤️. What a gem ❤❤❤

[Iluvanimals_]

As a South African im really happy that she's representing us🇿🇦

[MoeratR]

The growth is visible! She now speaks like a true South African with conviction... just like all our educated South African queens who always dominate in the Q&A section at Miss Universe.

Wow. Tyla is so dope for this! I just learned about amapiano after falling in love with Afro beats! There is a clear difference. She’s so unapologetically African and as an African American I love to see this! It makes all of us smile!

[janomesteve]

Proud of this coloured girl
Tyla ek is trots op jou my meisie
Jy verteenwoordig ons mooi

[JuicyIce-wpgk]

I'm love her because of the way she is so proud of her country and represent africa❤❤

[mr.sailii]

Yess so glad she mentioned the tendency to group all african music into “afrobeats” is annoying asf. They should rename that category. ‼️

[jolenegeorge]

👀👀👀👀So this is why they call you uppity? Gal they ain't seen nothing yet. Shine baby shine👏👏👏👏

[zandilemnisi]

She is brave for saying all of this and us South Africans are behind her all the way. She is standing up for her country and continent. We are proud ❤
