In her acceptance speech, Tyla expressed gratitude for Afrobeats, stating, “Thank you to Afrobeats, it has opened many doors for African music.”

Tyla outperformed well-known Nigerian artists like Asake, Rema, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, and Tems at both the VMAs and EMAs.
Prompt News reports that Tyla, however, is not nominated for the 2025 Grammy Awards despite winning one in 2024.
