Tyla’s Lagos Concert Under Fire as Nigerian Celebrities Lead Growing Boycott Campaign

Nigerians, including several celebrities, have launched a growing online campaign against South African singer Tyla’s planned Lagos concert, amid renewed anger over alleged xenophobic attacks against Nigerians and other African immigrants in South Africa.

The campaign, tagged **“South Africa Thinks We’re Fools,”** gained momentum days after Tyla’s December 2026 concert in Lagos was announced, with supporters calling for Nigerians to boycott the event.

Some Nigerians have also accused South Africa of unfairly restricting Nigerian artistes from entering the country, further fuelling the backlash.

Popular OAP Do2dtun joined the campaign with a strongly worded message, warning Nigerians against attending the concert. He referenced Burna Boy’s past experience in South Africa, recalling that the Nigerian star was allegedly threatened over his stance on xenophobia.

The controversy has now shifted the conversation beyond Tyla’s music, with Nigerians debating whether the singer should be held accountable for the actions of South Africans and whether boycotting her Lagos concert is an appropriate response to the ongoing tensions.
