How I was prevented from performing in Nigeria due to indecent dressing – Tiwa Savage
By Francesca Hangeior.
Popular singer Tiwa Savage recalled that when she returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom to pursue her musical career, she was prevented from performing at concerts because her outfits were considered “too risqué.”
She revealed that some of her earlier music videos were not aired due to being deemed indecent.
The ‘Koroba’ hitmaker disclosed this in a recent interview with BET.
Savage said, “When I first moved back, I would turn up at a show and they would say I can’t perform because my outfit was too risqué.
“It was a cultural issue. Even some of my first music videos were not played on the television because they were considered indecent. I wasn’t even wearing bikinis.
“Despite the setbacks, I was still stubborn. My dresses were getting more revealing. It was just getting worse. They were bashing me online.
“It was funny because the females were secretly falling in love with me and my style. They couldn’t 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.”
Tiwa Salvage recently revealed the inspiration behind her newly unveiled movie, “Water & Garri”.
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, “I 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 didn’t make me feel stupid. They just said this is a brilliant idea.”

May Edochie’s fans respond to actress Uche Ogbodo after she criticized them
By Francesca Hangeior
Nigerian actress Uche Ogbodo has sparked a reaction from the fans of socialite May Edochie, known as May Nation.
This began when Uche’s store in Lagos was robbed, and she claimed that May’s fans were mocking her situation.
She labeled them as toxic and pointed out that Yul Edochie’s ex-wife did not intervene to stop the negativity, leading her to block May.
Following Uche’s outburst online, May Edochie’s fans released a public statement from one of their official pages.
The group criticized the Nollywood actress for labeling them as lunatics and toxic. They believe she should have addressed the specific people who made negative comments on her page instead of assuming that all May Nation members are the same.
They questioned whether Davido and Wizkid are also pressured to respond to negative comments from their fans. They pointed out that May Edochie cannot control what her fans say, and it would be unreasonable to expect her to respond every time someone says something negative.

Angry Rudeboy Alleges Twin Brother Mr. P Of Song Theft, Vows To Release Original Version
Angry Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy has accused his twin brother Peter Okoye (Mr. P) of stealing his intellectual property.
Rudeboy alleged in an Instagram post on Thursday that Mr P’s recently released single, ‘Winning,’ was supposed to be included in his next album.
Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer existed.
Rudeboy also alleged that the music producer hijacked the track.
“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day.
“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why are you singing my own song? Word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”
Rudeboy also threatened to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.
“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.
Recall that Psquare split in 2017 following a feud between Rudeboy and Mr. P.
The brothers reunited in November 2021, but their reconciliation was short-lived as Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
