Tiwa Savage has opened up about why she isn’t fully embracing the title “Queen of Afrobeats,” despite fans often calling her that.

In a recent chat with Apple Music’s Ebro, the award-winning singer explained that while she values the love and recognition, the label makes her uneasy. According to her, being singled out as the only “queen” doesn’t sit right because many other female artists also deserve credit for shaping Afrobeats.

She added that accepting such a title feels like it comes with heavy responsibility and expectations. “They call me the Queen of Afrobeats, but there are a lot of us who are queens,” she said. Tiwa noted that the tag likely stuck because she was one of the first Nigerian female artists to break into the global scene, but she stressed that she doesn’t see herself as the sole face of the genre.

Nigerian actor Tayo Amokade steps out and speaks regarding the King Mitchy incident.

He stated that the influencer staged the act to appear as if she desired to be arrested for drinking Hypo and attempting suicide, thereby worrying the media.

The actor shared how the behavior of King Mitchy online is concerning and harmful to children who are online “I’m begging the police in charge of social media, who are monitoring its use, that we have children between ages 10 and 21 who have access to social media. I don’t know when Hypo, which is meant to bleach toilets, clothes, or used to clean our house, turned into a drink—all in the name of ‘I want to end all, I want to commit suicide, I’m depressed.’”
