Get ready, because this summer, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards will have a fresh new face hosting the slime-filled extravaganza — none other than South Africa’s own sensational singer, Tyla.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, 21 June at 8 p.m., when the live show kicks off from the famous Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
Tyla’s Big Moment and Nominations
This night is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events of the year, and Tyla is set to shine bright on the global stage.
She’s already made waves in the music world, having made history in 2024 by winning the first-ever Grammy Award for ‘Best African Music Performance’ with her hit track Water.
That song didn’t just stop there — it cracked the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her international recognition.
On top of that, Tyla picked up the prestigious Impact Award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event earlier this year.
Now, she’s ready to bring that energy and success to the Kids’ Choice Awards.
Breaking Barriers and Making History
Tyla isn’t just hosting — she’s making history.
She’s the first African pop star to ever take on the Kids’ Choice Awards hosting gig, a huge milestone that highlights the growing influence of African music worldwide.
Plus, she’s up for two big nominations: Favourite Global Music Star and Favourite Music Collaboration for her catchy tune Show Me Love, created with WizTheMc and bees & honey.
It’s a proud moment for South African music lovers everywhere.
What to Expect at the Awards
The Kids’ Choice Awards always deliver a star-studded lineup, celebrating the best in film, TV, music, and sports — all chosen by fans.
This year’s event is even more accessible, airing simultaneously on Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, and the Nick Jr. channel, so everyone can get in on the fun.
African Music’s Global Rise
Tyla’s rise is proof of how African music continues to break barriers and capture hearts worldwide. In her own words, “This is just the beginning. African music is here to stay, and I’m proud to be part of this movement.”
Her journey is inspiring countless fans and artists alike.
