Social Media Reacts to Tyla Winning BET’s Best New Artist Award Over Sexyy Red

BET’s Best New Artist award has sparked mixed reactions across social media.

Tyla’s win over Sexyy Red has fans and critics alike having mixed reactions.

Tyla, known for her smooth vocals and captivating performances, undoubtedly has made significant waves in the music industry with her hit song ‘Water.’

However, many believe that Sexyy Red, with her undeniable chart-toppers, deserved the accolade instead.

Sexyy Red’s tracks like “Pound Town,” “SkeeYee,” and “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” have not only dominated the charts but have also become anthems for many.

Fans argue that Sexyy’s consistent chart performance and her ability to resonate with a broad audience made her the obvious choice for the award, leading many to believe she was snubbed in this year’s ceremony.

Sexyy Red, losing best new artist is one of the main reason BET is not a thing in the culture anymore that we give a fuck about. In what world did Tyla have a better year than Sexyy redd ??? They do shit like this then wonder why them views be low

Sexy red had a better year with the American black community. Tyla had a better year with every other demographic possible.

Tyla is known worldwide. Sexy red is only known because of her attachment to Drake. He is using her to hold on to a certain demographic. I hate BET as much as the next guy but let’s be fr for a second.
If you condone sexy red as being a part of the culture, you’re lost.

Tyla was breakout artist of the year and won a Grammy. Sexyy Red named lip glosses after STI’s….. Those girls are not the fucking same. https://t.co/7T0KaGJD9n

Tyla had an impactful year but Sexyy had the streets and billboard on lock with her songs. Even went on her own sold out tour before Tyla. Sexyy red definitely deserved it. https://t.co/deECYVdupV
