South African singer, Tyla, has faced renewed criticism from Nigerians after announcing her planned Lagos concert.

Social media critic, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has asked organizers of South African singer, Tyla's upcoming concert in Lagos to halt the show immediately.

VDM lamented the ongoing xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, vowing that the concert will not happen, reopening the xenophobia debate between Nigeria and South Africa. He argued Tyla and other South African artists should not be allowed to profit from Nigerians, whom South Africans have repeatedly despised, sounding a warning that if Tyla goes ahead with the show, Nigerians will come to the venue and we will bring the show down.

Likewise, human rights activist, Oruche Precious, popularly known as Mama Pee, warned Tyla against her upcoming concert in the country. She referenced Tyla's failure to condemn xenophobic attacks and killing of Nigerians in South Africa. While questioning Tyla's silence over the attack, Mama Pee told her to stay back in her country which she tagged "human hunting country."
