Tiwa Savage, one of Africa’s most celebrated female artists, recently opened up about feeling under appreciated in her home country. Known globally as the “Queen of Afrobeats,” Tiwa shared in an interview on the Offair Show with Gbemi and Toolz that she believes Nigeria and its music industry have not given her the recognition she truly deserves.
Despite her impressive track record filled with awards and hit songs like “Malo,” Tiwa Savage expressed disappointment when asked if she has received her flowers from the industry. She responded plainly, “No. I’m sorry, I don’t,” revealing a gap between her significant contributions and the accolades she feels acknowledged with at home.
Tiwa’s honest admission shines a light on the complexities of fame and appreciation within the Nigerian music scene. It sparks a conversation about how the industry values its leading artists, especially female trailblazers who have helped shape Afrobeats into a global phenomenon.
