South African artist Tyla has opened up about the surprising circumstances surrounding her 2026 Grammy win, sharing the exact moment she learned she won.
In a video that quickly went viral, Tyra was asked by reporters how she felt about becoming a Grammy winner again.
She said, “I say it all the time, but it honestly doesn’t feel real. The way I found out is absolutely crazy.”
When pressed for details, Tyra explained, “I almost didn’t make it I’m like two minutes late. I only found out in the lobby. But it was great because all my friends were there so we could celebrate together. “
Her honest account sparked heated discussions online, especially among fans of Nigerian superstar Davido, who failed 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 make it to the Grammys on time. Davido came early with his wife and staff and still lost. This looks more like a PR move against him.”
Another fan Trenda4niaja commented: “Wow 😎. She was two minutes late, but still won. Imagine hearing in the lobby that you won This must be an exciting time for her career. “
Some expressed disappointment at Davido’s defeat. “Davido arrived early, but the award went to someone else, which is really frustrating for his fans,” Life Code said.
Others questioned the legitimacy of the results. Nwabuze wrote on Twitter: “Honestly, Tyra. You’re late because you didn’t expect to win but somehow ended up winning. Our Davido deserves it. Not even one of her songs topped the Billboard charts last year. No wonder the President of the United States criticized the Grammys last night.”
