Amusement Tiwa Savage: "I wasn't happy being African."

 

Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian artist, has refuted assertions that Afrobeats is performing at its worst level in twenty years.

In separate interviews and social media posts, well-known music entrepreneurs Paul Okoye, often known as Paulo, and DJ Big N have asserted that Afrobeats is dwindling.

However, Savage stated that Afrobeats is invincible while speaking at the invincible Africans event.

She maintained that the genre is growing on charts and tours, despite assertions to the contrary.

She also discussed the cultural impact of Afrobeats, recollecting how, despite her initial dissatisfaction as an African growing up in London, she has come to embrace her race because of the wonderful image Afrobeats is presenting the continent.

The singer pointed out that despite without adequate infrastructure, organization, or backing, Afrobeats has accomplished a lot.

The genre with the fastest global growth is afrobeats. We essentially started it from scratch, without infrastructure, support, and even genuine belief from our own staff at first.

Growing up in London, I recall being unhappy with my African identity. But now that Afrobeats is becoming so popular, I'm really proud of it.

At one point, it was claimed that Afrobeats will have its brief moment of prominence before fading away. However, we remain here. We're not going to slow down. In actuality, we are receiving the biggest hits on the charts at the moment and we are packing stadiums.

"I'm not sure whether this is accurate, but it seems like one out of every four Black people is African or Nigerian.

Therefore, we are not leaving. The music is here to stay, no matter how hard they attempt to silence us. "We are Africans, and we can't be stopped," she said.
