Social media activist VeryDarkMan, or VDM, has requested that Tyla’s scheduled concert in Lagos be stopped immediately.
In a video released on his official Facebook page on Thursday, VDM, who bemoaned the ongoing xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, declared that the concert will not take place.
He claims that the South African singer will not be permitted to profit from Nigerians.
He said, “There will be no Tyla’s concert in Nigeria. It is not happening. This is a warning to the organisers and the show promoters bringing Tyla to Nigeria. That show is not happening.
“Not when Chidinma Adetshina is battling deportation in South African court. Now you want to bring in Tyla and sell tickets so that Tyla will make money off Nigerians. The same Nigerians that South Africans hate so much.
“This is a warning to you, if you go ahead with that show, we will come to the venue, and we will bring the show down.”

Several Nigerians have called for a total boycott of the concert to retaliate against the attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
This comes on the heels of Tyla’s management releasing her world tour schedule, which includes a performance in Lagos on December 22, 2026.
While questioning Tyla’s silence over the attack, human activist Mama Pee told her to stay back in her country which she tagged “human hunting country.”
Tagging Tyla to the Instagram post, Mama Pee wrote, “So tyla will come to Nigeria pass our immigration peacefully? and we will buy tickets to go and see her??? As per?
“A young man has just been strangled by the police if her country several killed cos of nothing but hate and she hasn’t said a word but she and her fellow human-hunting crew can come and sing for us so we dance here while our people bleed and scream in fear over there?
“Fellow Nigerians our feelings are valid. No gaslighting over here, Tyla should stay back in her human hunting country. Her silence in the face of grave injustice is loud enough.
“If na only this one we fit do as our government no no themselves, make we do am. I stand with Nigerians. Stay back in your country.”
