A lot more women hit on me more than men – Tiwa Savage
Popular singer Tiwa Savage recently shared insights into her experiences with romantic advances, revealing that she receives more attention from women than men. During an interview on Beat 99.9 FM, the 44-year-old artist expressed her surprise at this trend, saying, “I do not know why, but a lot more women hit on me more than men. I do not know why.”
Tiwa’s candid remarks highlight the dynamics of attraction in the entertainment industry, where public figures often encounter varied interactions. Her observations invite curiosity about the factors that might contribute to this pattern, particularly in a genre where she is a prominent figure.
In the same interview, Tiwa also addressed ongoing discussions about her status in the Afrobeats scene, a genre dominated by male artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, who are often referred to as the ‘big 3.’ Tiwa firmly believes that her talent and stage presence warrant her a place at the top, even suggesting she surpasses her male counterparts. “Do not get me started because if we were to go talent for talent, mic for mic, I am the big one,” she asserted.
She emphasized that the conversation surrounding the ‘big 3’ should not solely focus on commercial success or numbers. “If we take off the numbers, whatever it is you want to judge ‘big 3’ by, you cannot see me on the mic. I am sorry, but that is what it is,” she declared confidently.
Tiwa Savage’s statements reflect her determination to carve out her space within the male-dominated industry and highlight her belief in the importance of talent over mere commercial metrics. Her bold assertions challenge the status quo, encouraging a reevaluation of how success and influence are measured in the music industry.
As one of Afrobeats’ leading figures, Tiwa continues to make waves not only with her music but also by addressing broader issues of representation and recognition for women in the genre. Her insights resonate with many fans and aspiring artists, emphasizing the need for equal acknowledgment in a rapidly evolving musical landscape.
