Nigerian media personality Do2dtun has shared his take on South African singer Tyla winning the American Music Awards.
Newsunplug reported that on Monday, the South African music star made history after clinching two major awards at the prestigious ceremony.
The singer won the Best Afrobeats Artist category, defeating top African acts including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Rema and Moliy. She also secured the fan-voted Social Song of the Year award for her hit single, “Chanel,” becoming the only African artist to win at the 52nd edition of the AMAs.
Reacting to it, Do2dtun shared a conspiracy theory that Americans wanted to give Afrobeat a different meaning and interpretation. According to him, they didn’t like how it took over every other genre.
He admonished Nigerians never to change what they own or have created to please their paymasters.
“My take on Tyla winning the American Music Awards
I repeat, this is my own opinion
Americans wanted this to have a different meaning and interpretation. They didn’t like how it took over every other genre. However, on our side, we need to learn something from this. Don’t change what you own or created to please your pay masters. We own it, but it was redescribed because some people wanted to champion it with a different meaning for their bread. It paid off for them at the time, sadly, it was fully misinterpreted when the “S” was added. This is the result”.
