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.”
Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, has claimed that poverty is responsible for the huge amount of entertainers Nigeria is churning out.
According to her, the hardship in the country is making young people explore their talents.
Speaking on the ‘Shopping The Sneakers’ podcast, Savage said living in Nigeria is difficult.
She said, “When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars. To survive in Nigeria is something else so that’s why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers. They are just hustling.”
Nigeria has Africa’s largest movie, music, comedy and fashion industries.
Nollywood is the second largest movie industry in the world.
Nigerian singer Fireboy DML has shared details about the kind of women he has been involved with.

He wrote: “I have experienced some dangerous women in this life.”
Fireboy had previously revealed that after the release of his fourth studio album, he would be going on a vacation in search of heartbreak to inspire his next album.
The singer recently released his eponymous fourth studio album, ‘Adedamola’.
Famous rapper, Nicki Minaj, has described Nigerian Afrobeat musician, Davido as an incredible melody maker and songwriter.
She made this known while revealing reasons for her recent collaboration with Davido.
The songstress had recently collaborated with Davido on her latest project ‘If It’s Okay’.
However responding to a curious fan who asked about her reason, Minaj stated that she was driven by her desire to infuse Afrobeat vibe into her music.
Speaking on her X handle, she described the Afrobeat star as an incredible melody maker.
“That man is an incredible writer & melody maker. It is always a pleasure working with him because of our mutual respect for one another. I asked him to be a part of it to bring out the Afro beats tempo/feeling in it a bit more. Naija to the world.”
