REALLY!! ‘I Was Prevented From Performing In Nigeria Due To Indecent Dressing’ – Tiwa Savage
Multiple award-winning songstress, Tiwa Savage has recalled how she was not allowed to perform at events when she moved back to Nigeria from the United Kingdom.
The ‘Water and Garri’ singer, who left the UK to pursue her musical career in her country, Nigeria, revealed that show organisers were preventing her from performing at concerts because her outfit was considered indecent.
She stated this in an interview with BET as she opined that the reason behind such action was cultural, but she still maintained her stubbornness and wore more see-through outfits.
Tiwa revealed that after continuously putting on revealing clothes, the organisers had no choice but to put her on shows and play her music videos on TV stations because there was increasing demand for it.
In her words;
“When I first moved back, I would turn up at a show and they would say I can’t perform because my outfit was too risqué.
“It was a cultural issue. Even some of my first music videos were not played on the television because they were considered indecent. I wasn’t even wearing bikinis. Despite the setbacks, I was still stubborn. My dresses were getting more revealing. It was just getting worse. They were bashing me online.
“It was funny because the females were secretly falling in love with me and my style. They couldn’t deny. My fanbase, my followers, was growing. So they had to put me on shows and play my music because there was a demand for it.”
