Nigerian Afrobeats star, Tiwa Savage, made headlines following her recent performance in London, where she paused on stage to take a pointed swipe at some of her male colleagues.
The singer, known for hits like Somebody’s Son, stirred a buzz with comments that quickly went viral.
In a video capturing the moment, Tiwa Savage was heard saying, “Fuuck the big 3,” a phrase widely interpreted as a reference to the trio of Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido.
She then added, “Don’t want to say a lot of things because I will be trending by tomorrow,” suggesting she was deliberately holding back further remarks.
Although Tiwa did not explicitly name anyone, fans and social media users immediately connected her words to the three leading Afrobeats artists.
The crowd at the event responded with audible gasps and cheers.
Reactions online were mixed, with some fans showing support while others criticized or joked about her statement. Among the responses were:
