“I Wasn’t Happy Being African”: Tiwa Savage Reflects on Her Childhood in London
Popular Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, reflects on a time when she wasn’t happy growing up as an African in London.
The singer revealed this during a recent interview as she praised the positive global reputation of Afrobeats. She shared that the genre made her feel confident in her culture, as she was once ashamed as a child.
“Afrobeats is the fastest-growing genre in the world. We kind of created it with nothing — no support, no infrastructure, no real belief, even from our own people initially.”
“I remember growing up in London and I was not happy being African. But now I’m so proud because of how big Afrobeats is growing.”
Nigerian singer Ycee reacts to the criticism and ongoing conversation surrounding his comments about the “Olodo uprising.”
He reacted to the fact that he received backlash for using Peller as an example. “Some people are saying I shouldn’t have called Peller’s name, but I said what I said. If you feel offended, you should check yourself. A lot of people are also taking what I said out of context. The olodo uprising is even worse than I thought because there are so many people coming out to defend it.”
“My call is to people that are tired of brain-rot content. There is no reason why intelligent people cannot be streamers or content creators.”
