Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has shed light on the crucial role fan relationships play in an artist’s success.

Speaking during an insightful episode of the Shopping The Sneakers podcast, the singer highlighted how building strong connections with fans goes beyond releasing hit songs—it’s about creating a bond that transcends music.

She explained that when artists foster meaningful relationships with their audience, it allows fans to connect with other aspects of their lives, including their personalities, fashion sense, and lifestyles.

Savage pointed to her industry colleagues—Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy—as prime examples of artists who have mastered this art.

“It’s not just about the music,” she shared. “It’s about your fanbase and your brand as a whole.

You need to think about how you present yourself—your style, your relatability.

Many artists are focused only on putting out songs, but they don’t take the time to genuinely connect with their fans.”

Tiwa emphasized that Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy’s enduring relevance is largely due to their strong relationships with their fanbases.

These artists aren’t just celebrated for their music; they are admired for their lifestyles and personalities, which keeps them in the public eye whether or not they have new songs out.

She further explained that an artist’s brand needs to encompass everything—from music to fashion and personal interactions.

Wizkid, for instance, is known for his effortless cool and understated style, which resonates with fans globally.

Davido’s larger-than-life persona and his ability to connect with fans on a personal level make him a fan favorite, while Burna Boy’s unapologetic authenticity and Afrocentric style have earned him a loyal following.

Tiwa concluded with some advice for fellow artists: “It’s really important to build a fanbase.

Your team includes not just your crew but also your fans.

You are only as strong as the people rooting for you.”

Mr. Macaroni, a well-known Nigerian comedian, skit maker, and activist, has shared why he refuses to acknowledge Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu publicly.

This revelation came after an X user, @OyesileJohn, criticized Macaroni for ignoring the Governor.

The user posted, “To d’ifa fun a certain Macaroni who, in an attempt to please the mob, snubbed the governor of Lagos state. Omo ase.”

In his response, Mr. Macaroni doubled down on his stance, saying he would continue to ignore Governor Sanwo-Olu, whom he referred to as “your Governor.”

He added, “He doesn’t mean anything to me, neither do you or your father.

I love that you slaves bring this issue up all the time.

For every time you do, I will send you to your masters.”

Explaining his reason, the skit maker recounted his harrowing experience during the End SARS protests in October 2020.

Mr. Macaroni, whose real name is Debo Adedayo, was among the protesters arrested at the Lekki Toll Gate.

He revealed that he was stripped, beaten, and dehumanized while in detention.

According to him, the police officers who brutalized him told him to “stop disturbing the governor.”
