Tiwa Savage says she does not accept being called the Queen of Afrobeats
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.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
