Tyla Beats Nigerian Stars to Become Most-Streamed Female Artiste in Nigeria

South African singer Tyla has reached another huge milestone, taking over the Nigerian music charts in a way no one saw coming.

The “Water” star has now become the most-streamed female artiste in Nigeria, beating local heavyweights Ayra Starr and Tems on Spotify.

The update, shared this week by Pop Base News, confirmed her new title and set social media on fire.

Tyla’s rise has been fast and unstoppable.

At just 23, she continues to mix pop and amapiano in a style that feels fresh and global.

Her songs keep climbing the charts and winning over fans from Lagos to London.

Not everyone was convinced by the numbers, though. Some fans online questioned how a South African could top Nigeria’s own stars.

But others quickly defended her success, saying her music connects beyond borders.

For Tyla, this record adds to a growing list of wins, including a Grammy and several chart-topping singles.

She has become one of Africa’s biggest exports and a proud face of South African music around the world.
