Mama Pee warns Tyla to skip Lagos Dec 22 concert over SA xenophobia silence
Nigerian activist Mama Pee (Oruche Ogeamara Precious) told South African singer Tyla not to proceed with her December 22 Lagos concert, according to DAILY POST. The warning came after Tyla remained silent on ongoing xenophobic attacks in South Africa where Nigerians have been attacked and killed.
Mama Pee criticized Tyla's silence as Nigerians face what she called 'human hunting' in South Africa, referencing an anti-foreigner campaign that intensified since April 2026 with videos showing attacks on foreigners. She argued Tyla shouldn't perform in Nigeria while Nigerians face violence in SA.
The APOP World Tour concert is scheduled for Lagos on December 22, 2026. Mama Pee urged Nigerians to recognize their feelings about the situation are valid and told Tyla to 'stay back in your country.'
This highlights ongoing tensions between Nigeria and South Africa over xenophobic violence, which could impact cultural events like Tyla's concert. Nigerians considering attending should weigh the artist's stance on these ongoing human rights concerns.
