“I Was Prevented from Performing in Nigeria Because of Indecent Dressing” – Tiwa Savage

Popular singer Tiwa Savage has recounted how, upon returning to Nigeria from the United Kingdom to pursue her musical career, she faced obstacles such as being barred from performing at concerts due to her outfits being deemed “too risqué.” She also revealed that some of her early music videos were not aired because they were considered indecent.

In a recent interview with BET, the ‘Koroba’ hitmaker shared her experiences, stating, “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 television because they were considered indecent. I wasn’t even wearing bikinis.”

Despite facing setbacks, Tiwa remained determined. She continued to push boundaries with her fashion choices, which often led to criticism online. However, she noticed that her fanbase was growing, and there was a demand for her music and style.

“It was funny because the females were secretly falling in love with me and my style. They couldn’t deny it. My fanbase, my followers, were growing. So they had to put me on shows and play my music because there was a demand for it,” Tiwa remarked.
