South African singer Tyla has removed Lagos from her upcoming APop World Tour following online backlash from some Nigerians over renewed reports of xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa. The Grammy-winning artiste initially included Lagos as a tour stop on December 22, but changed her schedule after public outcry. The decision comes amid growing concerns about xenophobia and safety for Nigerians in South Africa, with reports of attacks and harassment. Tyla’s management confirmed the change in response to the backlash, though no official statement was released. The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some Nigerians supporting the decision to avoid potential risks, while others argue that the issue should be addressed through political and social channels rather than targeting individuals. A legal firm, DACO LP Africa, has urged Nigerians not to boycott the concert, emphasizing that public anger should be directed at the root causes of xenophobia rather than at the artist. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between Nigerian communities and local populations in South Africa, raising questions about the broader implications for cross-border relations.
