Nigerian media personality and OAP Dotun has called on Nigerians to boycott South African singer Tyla’s upcoming concert in Lagos, citing the recent wave of xenophobic attacks targeting Nigerians and other African nationals in South Africa.
Tyla recently announced the dates for her world tour, with a Lagos performance scheduled for December 22. However, the announcement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians questioning whether it is appropriate to support the concert in light of the reported attacks.
Reacting to the news, Dotun argued that Nigerians should not attend the event as a show of solidarity with victims of xenophobia. He also criticized those who would still choose to support the concert despite the ongoing tensions, using strong language to express his disappointment.
The issue has continued to generate debate on social media, with opinions divided between those who support a boycott and those who believe music and politics should remain separate. As discussions continue, it remains to be seen whether the controversy will affect attendance at Tyla’s Lagos show.
