So an artist is judged when they speak, and they are judged when they don’t. Recently, it was reported that Ayra Starr‘s visa to South Africa was denied and would be unable to perform at a scheduled show. Meanwhile, Tyla, a South African artist who has many fans in Nigeria and has collaborated with many Nigerian artists, included Nigeria, Lagos specifically, as part of her touring cities for her forthcoming album, but has since removed the city from her list. If Tyla did speak against the anti-migrant attacks, would she be allowed to perform in Nigeria? If she’s allowed to perform in Nigeria, would that erase the anti-migrant and xenophobic attacks happening in South Africa?
