Afrobeats star, Tiwa Savage, has called on fellow artists within the genre to remain humble and grounded, regardless of their growing international success and recognition.
During an interview with Hot 97 FM in New York, Savage emphasized that artists are merely representatives of the Afrobeats movement and should not allow fame to inflate their egos.
“We are just ambassadors, we are just like the faces of Afrobeats. And that’s why we can’t let it get into our heads, because we are just vessels and there can be somebody else,” she said.
“So, for me, it is like, I have tasted this thing now, I have to be humble. Just for God’s sake,” she added.
The singer, known for hits like Malo, also stressed that success is ultimately a gift from God, one that can be taken away at any time — reinforcing the need for humility in the industry.
In the same interview, Savage expressed admiration for some of her colleagues, praising their unique approaches and contributions to music.
“I love the mystery behind Tems. You don’t know too much about her and she doesn’t care. I love Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania. He is so talented and he has put his community on the map,” she said.
