Tyla Set to Host the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards

Nickelodeon is about to get a major dose of style, sparkle, and South African flair as Tyla, the “Pretty Girl from Jo’burg,” prepares to take centre stage as the host of the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. The 23-year-old global sensation continues her unstoppable streak in 2025, showing the world that her star power is only getting brighter.

The Grammy-winning Water hitmaker was officially announced by Nickelodeon as the host of the iconic slime-filled awards show, which is set to take place on 21 June at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Known for its high-energy performances, surprise appearances, and kid-friendly vibe, the Kids’ Choice Awards will get an extra dose of charisma with Tyla at the helm.

But the exciting news doesn’t stop there—Tyla is also nominated in two major categories: Favourite Global Music Star and Favourite Music Collaboration for her feature on WizTheMc and bees & honey’s track Show Me Love. These nods come as no surprise, given her chart-topping success and viral appeal.

This isn’t Tyla’s first appearance at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. In 2024, she received nominations for Favourite Global Music Star, Favourite Breakout Artist, and Favourite Viral Song for her international smash hit Water, which propelled her to global fame.

Her meteoric rise in the music industry has been fuelled by her distinctive sound—a bold mix of amapiano, pop, and R&B—and her fierce confidence on and off the stage. Tyla has quickly become a global fashion and music icon, breaking records and winning hearts around the world.

Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account, Tyla shared her excitement and disbelief with fans, posting:
“I’m really about to host the kids’ choice awards 💀🤍🙈.”

From Johannesburg to Hollywood, Tyla is proving that she’s not just a viral moment—she’s a movement. Hosting the Kids’ Choice Awards is yet another major milestone in a year packed with achievements, and fans can expect nothing less than a show-stopping performance from one of the world’s hottest stars.

With charm, humour, and plenty of star power, Tyla is ready to make the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards one to remember. And if her track record is anything to go by, she’s going to slay it—just like she always does.
