Alkebulanians,
South African artist Tyla had her Lagos concert cancelled and the reason goes deeper than bad PR. Operation Dudula set a June 30th deadline pushing migrants, primarily Nigerians, out of South Africa. One month later, Tyla’s team announced a Lagos concert date. The blowback was instant. Nigerians online were already warning her not to come. The concert was pulled before it started.
