Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage is stirring up conversations after confidently declaring her place among Nigeria’s top music icons.
In a recent interview with Beat 99.9FM, Tiwa was asked how she feels about often being left out of the conversation around the “top three” Nigerian artists—Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.
The singer responded boldly, saying she considers herself “the big number one.” Tiwa expressed that if it came down to a talent showdown, she believes she would outshine her fellow artists.
When asked, “Do you feel like you should be part of the big three?” Tiwa made it clear that, in her view, she’s already at the top.
In response, she said …
“Don’t get me started. If we want to go talent for talent, mic for mic, I’m the big one.”
