Tyla Makes History as First African to Host Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025

In a groundbreaking moment for African entertainment, South Africa’s very own Grammy-winning Amapiano pop-R&B superstar, Tyla, has been announced as the host of the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025 — making her the first African ever to do so.

Known for her global breakout hit “Water” and her genre-blending sound that fuses Amapiano with R&B and pop, Tyla continues to redefine what it means to be a South African artist on the world stage. Her hosting gig at the iconic slime-filled awards show marks a major milestone not only for her career, but for African representation in global mainstream media.

Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards is known for celebrating the hottest names in music, film, digital, and TV — all chosen by the kids. Tyla’s selection as host signals a seismic shift in global recognition for African pop culture.

“This isn’t just a personal moment — it’s a win for the entire continent,” Tyla shared in a statement. “Being able to represent Africa on a platform watched by millions of young fans worldwide is an honour I don’t take lightly.”

Tyla’s rapid ascent has been anything but ordinary. In just a few years, she has gone from local sensation to Grammy Award winner, landing high-profile collaborations, charting on Billboard, and making history on TikTok with viral dance challenges.

Her presence at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards is another testament to her growing influence in both entertainment and youth culture. With her infectious charisma, unapologetic style, and powerhouse vocals, Tyla is the perfect choice to headline a show that’s all about energy, fun, and connection.

This year’s Kids’ Choice Awards will take place in Los Angeles and is expected to feature major performances, celebrity cameos, and of course — the famous green slime. Tyla will not only host the show but is also tipped to perform a medley of her global hits, giving fans an unforgettable experience.

Her appearance is also expected to shine a spotlight on African music and fashion, potentially opening the door for more African artists to take up space on the global stage.

Tyla’s hosting role is more than just an entertainment headline — it’s a signal of South Africa’s growing influence in global media and pop culture. With platforms like Nickelodeon recognising African talent, the narrative around African creativity, youth, and innovation continues to evolve.

Whether it’s Amapiano dominating global charts or African artists like Tyla leading iconic stages, one thing is clear: Africa is not the future — it’s the now.
