Tyla has updated her APOP World Tour schedule, with Lagos no longer appearing among the list of concert destinations.
The Grammy-winning South African singer had previously announced Lagos as the only Nigerian stop on the tour, with the show scheduled for December 22.
The move follows days of online debate, with some Nigerians calling for a boycott over xenophobic attacks targeting Nigerians in South Africa.
Others defended the singer, insisting she should not be held responsible for those incidents.
Nigerian politician Omoyele Sowore publicly backed Tyla, writing:
Nigerians should direct their anger at their real enemies… No one should hold a talented musician like Tyla vicariously liable for the crimes of xenophobia. Tyla’s Lagos concert must go on.
The controversy intensified after VeryDarkMan vowed to mobilise members of his Ratel Movement to stop the concert from taking place.
As of Friday, Lagos had been removed from Tyla’s official tour schedule.
The singer has not given a reason for the change.
