… Other Winners
South African pop sensation Tyla has won her second Grammy Award, emerging victorious in the Best African Music Performance category.
Tyla clinched the win with her hit single “Push 2 Start” at the 2026 Grammy Awards, held in Los Angeles.
The victory follows her historic first Grammy win in 2024 for her breakout song “Water.”
“Push 2 Start” has been widely praised for its infectious rhythm and its fusion of amapiano, pop, and R&B elements.
The song has gained massive international attention and commercial success, helping it stand out in one of the most competitive categories at this year’s ceremony.
The 24-year-old singer defeated a strong lineup of nominees that included Burna Boy with “Love,” Davido featuring Omah Lay with “With You,” Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid with “Gimme Dat,” and Eddy Kenzo & Mehran Matin with “Hope & Love.”
The category has quickly become one of the most closely watched at the Grammys, with artists from Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa among the nominees.
