Tiwa Savage Claims She Is More Talented Than Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy
Tiwa Savage, the renowned Nigerian musician known as Tiwatope Omolara Savage, has made a bold statement claiming she has more musical talent than the famous trio known as the “Big 3” in Nigerian music: Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy. These artists are widely recognized as the top figures in the industry. However, discussions continue about who else might join this elite group, with Tiwa Savage, Rema, and Asake being potential candidates.
In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Tiwa shared her thoughts on her position within this prestigious circle. With great confidence, she declared that her musical abilities surpass those of her male peers, who are generally viewed as the leaders of this group.
When asked whether she feels she should be included in the ‘Big 3’ or even the emerging ‘Big 4’, Tiwa Savage confidently replied, “Don’t get me started. If we are talking talent for talent, mic for mic, I am the big 1. If you take away the numbers [streams] and whatever criteria you use to judge who is ‘big,’ you won’t find me lacking on the mic. However, I understand that the rankings aren’t solely based on musical talent.”
This statement emphasizes Tiwa’s self-assurance and her awareness of the intricate dynamics that influence fame in the music industry. She acknowledges that while talent is crucial, other factors contribute to how artists are ranked and perceived in the public eye.
Her remarks have sparked discussions among fans and music enthusiasts, highlighting the ongoing debate about the definition of success in the music scene. Tiwa Savage’s confidence reflects her commitment to her craft and her belief in her place among the leading artists in Nigeria. As the conversation about the “Big 3” evolves, it will be interesting to see how Tiwa’s talent and contributions to the industry continue to shape her legacy.
