South African artist Tyla has opened up about the surprising circumstances surrounding her 2026 Grammy Award win, sharing the exact moment she learned of her victory.
In a video that quickly went viral online, Tyla was asked by a reporter about her feelings on becoming a Grammy winner once more.
She said, “I keep saying this, but it honestly doesn’t feel real. The way I found out was absolutely crazy.”
When pressed for details, Tyla explained, “I almost didn’t make it I was like two minutes late. I only found out in the lobby. But it was amazing because all my friends were there, so we got to celebrate together.”
Her honest account has ignited lively discussions online, particularly among fans of Nigerian superstar Davido, who lost in the same category despite arriving early with his wife and friends.
Reactions on social media were mixed. One user, Mars, wrote, “Lol, she didn’t even arrive on time for the Grammies. Davido came early with his wife and crew, and still lost. This seems more like a PR move against him.”
Another fan, Trenda4niaja, commented, “Wow 😎. She was late by two minutes and still won. Imagine being in the lobby and suddenly hearing you’ve won it must be such a thrilling moment for her career.”
Some expressed disappointment over Davido’s defeat. Life Code stated, “Davido was there ahead of time, and yet the award went to someone else. It’s really frustrating for his fans.”
Others questioned the legitimacy of the outcome. Nwabueze tweeted, “Be honest, Tyla. You were late because you didn’t expect to win, but somehow ended up with the award. Our Davido deserved it. None of her songs even topped the Billboard charts last year. No wonder the American President criticized the Grammys last night.”
