Dancehall artist Skillibeng brought some Jamaican flair to the 2024 BET Awards stage for the second time, performing alongside South African singer Tyla and American rapper Gunna on their Billboard-charting hit, “Jump.”
“Jump,” a track from Tyla’s self-titled debut album, has been making waves on rhythmic radio in the United States and has secured spots on multiple Billboard charts. It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, and No. 38 on the UK Singles chart. On the US Afrobeats Songs chart, “Jump” returned to its original peak at #3.

In 2023, Skillibeng participated in a tribute to Busta Rhymes, who had received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 staging.
The BET Awards were held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, where Tyla won two awards: Best International Act (Africa) and Best New Artist. Although Tyla is South-African, she is managed by Jamaican Colin Gayle, originally from Manchester, so it’s a win for the Caribbean.
