Popular Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage shared her early career struggles in a recent BET interview, revealing that when she moved back to Nigeria from the UK to pursue music, she faced significant resistance.

Savage recalled being banned from performing at concerts because her outfits were deemed "too risqué."

Additionally, several of her initial music videos were not broadcasted due to concerns over their indecency.

Despite these challenges, the 'Koroba' hitmaker persevered and has since become a leading figure in the Nigerian music scene.

Savage said, “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.”
