Tiwa Savage expresses admiration for certain Nigerian artist

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Tiwa Savage, has expressed her strong admiration for fellow artists Ayra Starr and Tems.

While speaking with Hot 97 FM New York, Tiwa revealed that she admires Ayra’s confidence and mostly sees herself in her.

She stated that she is also in awe of Tems and Diamond Platnumz.

”I love Ayra Starr, it’s almost an obsession. I see myself in her, but I see a more confident one; when I was starting out, if I saw an article that my skirt was too short, the next time I might wear trousers. But Ayra would wear a skirt that is even shorter the next time. I love her confidence. I love the mystery behind Tems. You don’t know too much about her and she doesn’t care. I love Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania. He is so talented and he has put his community on the map,” she said,

Tiwa also urged artists to prioritise humility above all else. She stated that one shouldn’t get drunk off the fame they receive because God can replace anyone.

“We are just ambassadors, we are just like the faces of Afrobeats. And that’s why we can’t let it get into our heads because we are just vessels and there can be somebody else. God can take it away like that. So, you have to be grounded. You have to be humble. Imagine, coming this far and then falling. That is worse than not ever tasting fame. I would rather have never seen in my life than seen and lose my sight. That is worse to me. So, for me, it is like, I have tasted this thing now, I have to be humble. Just for God’s sake.”
The singer also expressed her admiration for some of her colleagues,’ she added.
