South African singer Tyla has cancelled her Lagos concert following weeks of online backlash and boycott threats from Nigerians. The cancellation comes amidst ongoing anti-migrant violence in South Africa, including the death of a Nigerian national, Chika Ibe. Nigerians criticized Tyla's silence on the issue and linked her concert to the xenophobic attacks. The cancellation has sparked mixed reactions, with some celebrating the decision while others argue the criticism went too far.
