“Surviving in Nigeria is Tough, Which Gives Artists a Hustler Mentality” – Tiwa Savage
Afrobeats artist Tiwa Savage recently opened up about the reasons behind the abundance of talented entertainers emerging from Nigeria, attributing it to the tough economic conditions many face in the country.
During an appearance on the Shopping The Sneakers podcast, the renowned singer highlighted the hardships in Nigeria and how they push young people to tap into their creative abilities as a means of survival.
Savage shared her perspective, stating, “If you visit Nigeria, you’ll begin to understand why we produce so many superstars.
Surviving here is no easy feat, and that’s why the artists who rise from Nigeria have this hustler mentality.
They’re constantly grinding, trying to make a name for themselves and get ahead.”
Nigeria, a country in West Africa, has long been a powerhouse in the entertainment industry.
It boasts the continent’s largest movie, music, comedy, and fashion sectors, which have gained recognition worldwide.
Nigerian artists, including Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, have become global icons, pushing the boundaries of Afrobeats and taking African music to international audiences.
The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, is another success story. It ranks as the second-largest movie industry globally, just behind India’s Bollywood.
Nollywood churns out thousands of films every year, catering to a growing global demand for African content.
The industry has created numerous opportunities for filmmakers, actors, and producers, turning Nigerian cinema into a thriving market that continues to break records and attract attention on global platforms like Netflix.
In recent years, Nigeria’s fashion and comedy scenes have also witnessed a boom, with rising stars in the fashion world and comedians gaining recognition beyond the borders of the country.
Platforms like Instagram and YouTube have allowed Nigerian comedians and fashion designers to reach wider audiences, making waves in the international scene.
Despite the challenges many Nigerian entertainers face, including limited resources and access to infrastructure, they continue to rise above the odds.
This resilience and determination are what make Nigerian creatives some of the most hardworking and innovative in the world.
The culture of hustling to survive, as Tiwa Savage explains, drives these individuals to push their limits and consistently produce work that resonates with people worldwide.
DJ Cuppy recently got reflective on her X handle, opening up about how her relationship with Jesus has completely changed the direction of her life. She wrote, “Was thinking this evening… Jesus really disrupted my DJ career plans o. But in the BEST way. ‘Booked and busy’ means nothing if you’re not walking in purpose.”
The post wasn’t just another random thought—it came from a place of real transformation. Last year, Cuppy made headlines when she gave her life fully to Christ and got baptized at Holy Trinity Brompton Church in London. She shared that moment with fans, calling it one of the most meaningful experiences of her life.
At 31, DJ Cuppy has seen massive success as a DJ, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. But this new chapter in her life is focused more on purpose than popularity. Her words remind fans that true fulfillment doesn’t always come from the spotlight—it comes from walking the path that truly aligns with your soul.
And it’s clear she’s still doing big things—but this time, guided by something deeper than fame or gigs.
