Reacting to the development, Mama Pee took to social media with a strongly worded message directed at the Grammy-winning singer.

Her comments come amid growing public anger over reports of attacks on Nigerians in South Africa. Some social media users argue that it is inappropriate for South African artistes to perform in Nigeria while concerns over the safety of Nigerians abroad remain unresolved. Others, however, insist that musicians should not be held responsible for political or social issues beyond their control. (Punch Newspapers)

The controversy has fueled calls by some Nigerians to boycott Tyla’s Lagos concert, while others have defended the singer, saying entertainment should not be mixed with diplomatic or political disputes. (Punch Newspapers)

As of the time of filing this report, Tyla has not publicly responded to Mama Pee’s remarks or the boycott campaign.
