The controversy stems from past allegations, including one reportedly made by Kenyan singer Victoria Kimani, who accused Savage of allegedly preventing her from performing at several shows.
However, speaking on a recent episode of the “OffAir Show” hosted by Gbemi and Toolz, Savage challenged anyone making such accusations to provide concrete evidence and name their sources.
“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names,” she said. “Maybe some promoters are lying and using my name. Perhaps they don’t want to book three or four female artists, so they claim I’m the one blocking others.”
The singer, popularly regarded as the ‘Queen of Afrobeats,’ also expressed disappointment over what she described as a lack of recognition for her immense contributions to the industry.
When asked by Toolz if she believes she has received her due accolades, Tiwa Savage replied bluntly, “No. I’m sorry, I don’t.”
According to the ‘Malo’ hitmaker, despite years of breaking boundaries and paving the way for women in Afrobeats, she still feels underappreciated for her achievements.
