Tiwa Savage, a popular musician, revealed that when she returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom to pursue her musical career, she was barred from playing at concerts because her attire were deemed “too risquΓ©.”
She said that several of her previous music videos were not shown owing to being judged immoral.
The ‘Koroba’ hitmaker revealed this in a recent BET interview.
Savage said, βWhen I first moved back, I would turn up at a show and they would say I canβt perform because my outfit was too risquΓ©.
βIt was a cultural issue. Even some of my first music videos were not played on the television because they were considered indecent. I wasnβt even wearing bikinis.
βDespite the setbacks, I was still stubborn. My dresses were getting more revealing. It was just getting worse. They were bashing me online.
βIt was funny because the females were secretly falling in love with me and my style. They couldnβt deny it. My fanbase, my followers, was growing. So they had to put me on shows and play my music because there was a demand for it.β
Tiwa Salvage recently revealed the inspiration behind her newly unveiled movie, βWater & Garriβ.
Salvage said she got the movie idea while she was drunk.
She stated this during the pre-launch press conference at Livespot Entertainment.
The award-winning Afrobeat superstar Tiwa Savage said, βI said this before, this is an idea I had in my head when I was drunk in my room and when I brought the idea to my amazing team, they didnβt make me feel stupid. They just said this is a brilliant idea.β
