It doesn't mean those songs were not big. They were very big. It's just that 'Water' has more vitality. It is massive on Tiktok</em>."</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/07/tylas-best-african-music-grammy-award-well-deserved-daddy-freeze/">Tyla’s Best African Music Grammy Award Well-Deserved – Daddy Freeze</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
