Well-known singer Tiwa Savage remembers that when she went back to Nigeria from the UK to further her career in music, her attire was deemed “too risqué,” and as a result, she was not allowed to play at events.
She disclosed that some of her previous music videos were rejected from television because they were deemed offensive.
This was revealed by the “Koroba” hitmaker in a recent BET interview.
According to Savage, “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.”
