The Digest:
Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has named Afrobeats 'Big 3', Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, among the artists she looks up to. In an interview with Rolling Stone Africa, Savage said, "I am inspired by my peers. You know, Wiz, Burna, David. You know, everybody." The comments come a year after she publicly pushed back against the dominance of the male trio, arguing that the label overlooks leading female artists like Tems.
Key Points:
- Savage clarified her viral "f*ck the big three" remark was aimed at the label, not the individuals.
- She pointed to other stars like Yemi Alade, Flavour, Asake, Tems, and Rema, who deserve recognition.
- She said she listens to Jazz and is inspired by Brandy musically.
- She also said she looks up to God.
- Her latest comments strike a more conciliatory tone.
Savage's remarks reflect both admiration for her peers and frustration with industry labels.
