Tiwa Savage, a renowned musician, has reminisced about her early days in Nigeria after moving from the UK to chase her music dreams. She recounted instances where she was barred from performing at events due to her attire being deemed too provocative.
Additionally, she mentioned that some of her initial music videos were withheld from airing due to concerns over their suggestive content. These revelations were made during a recent conversation 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. 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.”
