Tyla snagged the Best Afrobeats award but got dragged online for asking Lil Nas X (not Halle Bailey — get your facts straight, Twitter!) to hold her heavy trophy. Some haters, including YouTuber Armon Wiggins and rapper Joe Budden, even called her an “uppity African.” Not cool.
Going live on X Space, Cardi clapped back hard, slamming the toxic trolling Tyla’s been dealing with. “You guys are being really harsh on this girl,” she said, calling out the needless bullying of a 22-year-old just trying to fit in stateside. Despite scoring three nominations and winning big, Tyla’s night was soured by the backlash, making her regret her win.
Cardi’s message? Cut the hate, it’s way too much.
