In any normal circumstance, Tyla would have been congratulated online. However, people told her to celebrate her win in Nigeria and not in South Africa.

This was caused by the online uproar after she supported Chidimma when the entire nation criticised her nationality.

This is what people had to say under @MDNnewss' post:

@Maluda012 said:

"On behalf of all South Africans, we don't care what she achieves."

@AkanimiltonM claimed:

"That’s the only hit she got, and it was released in 2023."

@Ihhashi_Turkei added:

"Mcim, she must celebrate that side with her USA homies."

@villainguptas mentioned:

"Let her go and celebrate in Lagos."

"I'm just here for the comments. After taking time reading the comments, it is plain to see that her achievement has not changed the contents of the colon of many South African's, she has essentially been requested to celebrate her achievement with this other controversial country."

@GbooiMolesedi added:

"No South African cares about her anymore, Nigeria will celebrate her."
