‘God Don Save Her’ – Nigerians React as Tyla Drops Lagos Tour Stop

Nigerians have taken to social media to react to reports claiming that South African Grammy-winning singer Tyla removed Lagos from the African leg of her A*POP World Tour, days after calls emerged for a boycott of her planned December concert over renewed xenophobia concerns in South Africa.

Although Tyla and her management have not officially commented on the reports, the development has triggered widespread reactions online, with many users celebrating the reported decision while others continued to debate whether entertainers should be held responsible for diplomatic and social tensions between countries.

Some X users welcomed the reported removal of Lagos from the tour schedule.

Reacting to the reports, @FestusIheanach2 wrote:

“Let her perform in her xenophobic kantry, we don’t need that Moda fucker in Nigeria.”

Another user, @armanibanz23, posted:

“She should perform on TikTok. We will send her roses and moneygun.”

Others suggested the singer made the right decision.

@chiefloba commented:

“God don save her.”

Similarly, @jessy_decoco wrote:

“Very good. No be only your country sabi show wickedness.”

Some reactions also referenced earlier boycott calls.

“Go back to your country. You want to take our jabbs. You want to take our men. Tyla go back to your country.”

Another user, @Tonyblaise74, warned:

“E better for her coz if to say she force her wey in she go regret am.”

The reactions come amid renewed conversations about xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, with some social media users insisting South African entertainers should not perform in Nigeria until concerns about the safety of Nigerians are addressed. Others, however, have maintained that musicians should not be blamed for political or diplomatic issues beyond their control.
