South African music star Tyla has quietly removed her scheduled Lagos concert from her official World Tour itinerary, sparking fresh reactions from fans and industry observers.
The singer was initially billed to perform in Lagos on December 22 as part of her global tour. However, the Nigerian date no longer appears on the list of upcoming shows published on her official tour schedule, fueling speculation over the reason behind the change.
The development comes against the backdrop of growing calls by some Nigerians to boycott the Grammy-winning artiste following renewed reports of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa. The campaign also gained momentum after the reported deportation of more than 1,000 Nigerians alleged to be residing in the country illegally.
Several social media users had urged Tyla to cancel her planned Lagos performance, arguing that it would be inappropriate to hold the concert while Nigerians continue to express concerns over the treatment of their compatriots in South Africa.
Despite the growing speculation, neither Tyla nor her management team has issued an official statement explaining why the Lagos concert was removed from the tour schedule. Event organisers have also remained silent, leaving fans uncertain about whether the show has been cancelled, postponed, or could be rescheduled for a later date.
As of the time of filing this report, the Lagos stop is absent from Tyla’s official World Tour listings, while other international dates remain unchanged.
The silence from the singer’s camp has continued to fuel speculation, with many fans awaiting clarification on the status of the planned performance. Until an official announcement is made, the reason behind the removal of the Lagos concert remains unconfirmed.
