South African Grammy-winning singer Tyla has removed Lagos from the schedule of her APOP World Tour, days after calls for a boycott over renewed xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.
The December 22 Lagos concert was no longer listed on the singer’s official tour schedule following public criticism and threats by activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, to mobilise supporters against the show.
The development comes amid renewed concerns over attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, although some, including activist Omoyele Sowore, argued that Tyla should not be blamed for the actions of others.
