Nigerian singer Jaywon has joined online calls for South African star Tyla to reconsider performing in Nigeria. He criticised the singer’s alleged silence over past xenophobic attacks in South Africa, during which foreigners were attacked and properties destroyed. Jaywon argued that the current atmosphere does not support her visit. The comments have renewed debate about xenophobia, accountability and whether entertainers should speak up during such crises.

Jaywon's point is understandable, but holding Tyla personally responsible for South Africa's past xenophobic attacks may blur where accountability belongs.
