I received backlash for my risque dressing and lyrics too – Tiwa Savage
Popular singer, songwriter and movie producer, Tiwa Savage has recounted how she received heavy backlash over her fashion style in the early days of her career.
Speaking in a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage recalled that she was also thrown under the bus for her risque lyrics as a youngster.
She disclosed that she is obsessed with Ayra Starr because of her experience.
She noted that Starr has continued to shine on the global music scene despite the criticisms hauled at her by Nigerians over her dress sense.
Savage said, “I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too. It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticized a lot for dressing too sexy and my lyrics being too risky.
“So, seeing someone, Ayra now…If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics] say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter.’
“And she looks amazing, she’s extremely talented. Yeah, she’s a star.”
