"Tyla has submitted 'I Don't Care' featuring Babalwa M for Grammy consideration in the Best African Music Performance category. 🏆"
What makes I Don't Care Stand out
The track pairs Tyla's polished, globally-oriented pop sound with Babalwa M's soulful, commanding vocals, making it one of the more celebrated cross-genre moments on the APop project. Babalwa M, who has built her reputation deep in South Africa's house and Amapiano scene, brings a grounded, local energy that complements Tyla's international appeal.
The Best African Music Performance category was created by the Recording Academy to spotlight sounds rooted in the continent, recognising work that blends indigenous African musical traditions with contemporary production styles.
Tyla's expanding Grammy campaign
This submission is not an isolated move. I Don't Care is one of several entries forming part of Tyla's wider For Your Consideration rollout for APop, signalling a coordinated effort to earn recognition across multiple Grammy categories for her sophomore body of work.
The timing of the announcement also worked in Babalwa M's favour, pulling the conversation back to her vocal talent and growing international footprint at a moment when much of the online chatter around her had centred on her personal life. Fans across Mzansi celebrated the Grammy submission as a well-deserved nod to one of South African music's most distinctive voices.
