Tiwa Savage clarifies tag as a diva

Nigerian singer Tiwatope Savage aka Tiwa Savage has clarified a long-held misconception about tagging her as a diva or someone who is savage.

The mother of one who cleared the air in a recent interview on Beat 99.9FM stated that she is not a diva and is not savage, as many people think.

Tiwa Savage whose music is a blend of Afrobeats, R&B, Afropop, pop, and hip-hop also noted that she is the complete opposite of being savage and in fact, she is a lover girl.

“I’m definitely a lover girl,” she clarified.

“A lot of the time, when people meet me in person they think I’m a savage or a diva because of my name, and I’m the complete opposite. t’s so bad that when I’m angry, my team members are here and can attest, my pitch gets even higher and they’d just be like alright and okay. It doesn’t phase them,” the singer added.

She continued by emphasizing that her job as a musician puts her in automatic beast mode, stating that it is one thing about which she is savage as as matter of fact.

“I think i’m a beast when it comes to my work, I tend to not take no for an answer and I can call you a million times till the work is done. I could wake up at 6 am to pester you on why it’s not done or until you give me a reason.

‘‘If not I’d find another way to get it done. I think when it comes to work, that’s where the savagery comes in. In my personal life and friends, I’m a softie.” Tiwa noted.
