\n\tJust a few days after earning her second career Grammy nomination<\/a> \u2014 best African music<\/a> performance for \u201cPush 2 Start\u201d \u2014 Tyla<\/a> called upon her pop music<\/a> foremothers to launch her We Wanna Party at Tokyo\u2019s Ariake Arena on Tuesday (Nov. 11).<\/p>\n \n\tMounted in support of July\u2019s WWP<\/em> EP, the We Wanna Party Tour finds Tyla visiting several Asian countries, including China, India, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. While the \u201cWater\u201d singer shared clips<\/a> of her performing \u201cIs It\u201d (with a hot pink bob!), which reached No. 14 on Rhythmic Airplay in October, to celebrate her first show of the tour, social media has been buzzing about one particularly sexy tour interlude.<\/p>\n \n\tAs Tyla served for the camera in tour visuals, an infectious mix of Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>\u2018s \u201cYonc\u00e9,\u201d Rihanna<\/a>\u2018s \u201cBirthday Cake,\u201d and the South African star\u2019s own recently released Moliy<\/a> duet \u201cBody Go\u201d blasted through the packed arena. To close her set, Tyla mashed up her own \u201cPush 2 Start,\u201d which boasts a Sean Paul<\/a>-assisted remix, with Queen Bey\u2019s 2003 Hot 100<\/a> chart-topper \u201cBaby Boy,\u201d which also features the legendary Jamaican dancehall star.<\/p>\n \n\tTyla\u2019s We Wanna Party Tour marks her first headlining trek since her 2024 outing in support of her eponymous debut album. After launching in Tokyo, Tyla will play 10 additional shows, ending with an appearance at Dubai\u2019s annual Sole DXB festival (Dec. 13). Her latest string of performances follows the release of \u201cChanel,\u201d which debuted atop U.S. Afrobeats Songs earlier this month (Nov. 8), marking her third No. 1 and fifteenth top 10 hit on the ranking.<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this year (Sept. 7), Tyla won her second Moonperson for best Afrobeats at the MTV Video Music Awards. Taking home the trophy with \u201cPush 2 Start,\u201d the Edenvale-born singer became the first two-time winner in the category\u2019s history. While she\u2019s eyeing a \u201ctotally different vibe\u201d for her sophomore album, Tyla is keeping the ball rolling with WWP<\/em> and its buzzy accompanying tour.<\/p>\n \n\tWatch Tyla nod to Beyonc\u00e9 and Rihanna on her We Wanna Party Tour here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \t
