Tyla is among the leading winners at the 2026 American Music Awards, according to reports from Premium Times and The Punch. Both outlets say the South African singer takes home the Best Afrobeats Artist award, and that the win includes beating major Nigerian and regional contenders including Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Rema. The Punch also reports that Tyla further wins Social Song of the Year, adding a second award to her AMAs haul. Premium Times similarly highlights Tyla’s repeated victory over the same set of rival artists, noting that she clinches the Best Afrobeats Artist category. Together, the accounts present Tyla as a standout performer at this year’s AMAs, with her awards tied specifically to Afrobeats recognition and social media impact. The reports include references to a full winners list, but the shared, consistently stated outcomes are Tyla’s Best Afrobeats Artist win and her additional Social Song of the Year recognition (as cited by The Punch).
