Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer/songwriter, Tiwa Savage has spoken about her experience in the early days of her career.

In a recent interview with Kiss FM in the United Kingdom, she disclosed that she was attacked for her fashion sense and “risky” songs when she was younger.

She revealed that her obsession with Ayra Starr stems from her experience.

She said that Ayra Starr has continued to shine in the worldwide music arena despite criticisms from Nigerians over her fashion sense.

Savage said, “I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too. It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticized a lot for dressing too s3xy and my lyrics being too risky.

“So, seeing someone, Ayra now…If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics] say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter.’

“And she looks amazing, she’s extremely talented. Yeah, she’s a star.”
