Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage recently sat down with media personality Joey Akan on Afrobeats Intelligence to share about her career journey, motherhood, and the realities of life in the music industry. Known for her powerful voice and dynamic presence, Tiwa opened up about why starting her music career later than most turned out to be a blessing, and how she hopes to support her son in carving out his own path in music without pressure or expectation.
In the interview, Tiwa reflected on the challenges artistes face behind the scenes, from mental health struggles to the pressure of maintaining a glamorous public image despite financial uncertainties. Her honest and heartfelt conversation sheds light on the often unseen side of fame and success in the Nigerian music scene.
Tiwa revealed that beginning her music career at a later age turned out to be a blessing, even though it didnt feel that way initially. "I was very intentional about sustaining my career. Me starting at a late age was a blessing at the time, I didnt think it was though," she said.
The superstar also spoke thoughtfully about her son and the pressures that can come with following in a famous parents footsteps. "I have seen a lot of kids whose parents are amazing singers and musicians. They learned, but they dont have that natural gift. So I didnt want my son to feel pressured going into music because of me," Tiwa explained.
