Fact check: Tyla has removed Nigeria from her world tour schedule following a boycott…

Both sides
Majority view
Multiple reputable outlets report that Tyla removed Lagos/Nigeria from her A*POP world tour schedule after days of online backlash and boycott calls by Nigerians, but none confirm that she or her team cited the boycott petition as the specific reason; the causal link is inferred from timing and context rather than an official statement.[1][2][3][4]
Credible dissent
Reputable reports agree Nigeria/Lagos was removed following online backlash and boycott calls, but they explicitly state that neither Tyla nor her management has explained the reason, and some frame the change broadly as linked to xenophobia-related tensions between South Africa and Nigeria rather than attributing it directly to the boycott petition.[1][2][3][4]
