Nigerian Singer, Tiwa Savage Sparks Controversy With Afrobeats ‘Big 3’ Remark (Video)

World-famous Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has stirred controversy with her bold remarks about the “Afrobeats Top 3.”

Recall that Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido are widely regarded as the ‘Big 3’ of the Afrobeats genre.

Savage, who perhaps feels the ‘Big 3’ tag has some underlining misogynistic sentiments, used the f-word for the purported ranking during her recent concert in London, England.

“I don’t want to say a lot of things because I will be trending by tomorrow. F**k the Top 3,” she yelled midway into her performance.

Damn… Tiwa Savage just declared war on the top 3: “Wizkid, Davido and Burnaboy”

I think it’s because they refused to collab with her on this album she just dropped. pic.twitter.com/qGv8fBWzXS

Despite being regarded by man as the ‘Queen of Afrobeats’, Tiwa Savage is often excluded from the many male-dominated purported lists of Afrobeats Top artists.

During the concert, Savage also brought out her son, Jamil, on stage for the first time.

She had stated in a previous interview that she wouldn’t let her son pursue a career in music.
