Davido dragged after congratulating Tyla
Coming from an amazing night at the Grammy's, our girl Tyla was showered with love and praise for bagging a win in the Best African Music Performance category for Water.
Fellow nominee, Davido, was among the people who congratulated Tyla on her win and took to his Twitter (X) page to show love:
"Congratulations on your win @Tyllaaaaaaa! Big One for Africa! Keep soaring!"
But South Africans didn't understand Davido's message, saying he was making the award about the entire continent. No wonder he comes to South Africa heavily armed, Mzansi throws shots like crazy!

The post sparked a heated exchange between Africans. Previously, Tyla divided the nation when Mzansi squared off with Nigeria over the singer's sound and the Amapiano genre - it's truly a never-ending battle:
