I am the most popular female artiste in Africa – Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage has finally made her debut feature on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio, hosted by Hot 97’s radio presenter, Ebro.


In the interview which went live yesterday in New York, the Mavin queen proudly noted that she is Africa’s most popular female artiste.

Recall that earlier, Davido’s interview with Ebro went live and he talked about his music and why he calls his genre ‘Afrofusion’, and not the popular Afrobeats. You can read up the interesting expository chat.

Now, Tiwa Savage takes American listeners into her world of African music, but first, she corrects Ebro when he described her as the ‘most popular artiste on the continent of Africa .’

“Popular female ,” she set the records straight and then laughed. “ This sounds like I’m cocky. ”

However, Ebro noted that she works hard, hence is deserving of that massive crown. “Definitely. I work hard ,” Ms Savage agreed.

Ebro said Beats 1 Radio is bringing her to the world and would be promoting her records. “That’s what we are trying to do here,” Ebro said, adding, “We are trying to bring artistes to the world .”

“I feel like a superstar, ” the excited Mavin artiste revealed.
