In a recent interview on American radio show The Breakfast Club, Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage was asked to clarify the “F**K The Big 3” statement she made during her London album launch concert.
The statement generated reactions on social media, where some observers considered it an attack on the Afrobeats Big 3 of Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid.
Clarifying the statement, Tiwa Savage shared that she was speaking to the Big 3 narrative rather than directly attacking the superstar trio.
“Why did you say Fxck the Big 3?”

Not f**c them. But like F that narrative. This is a continent with so many artists, but we keep reducing it to three artists every time,” Tiwa Savage clarified before listing other stars who deserve to be recognised for their efforts.
“They have a very big fan base. Their fan bases are active, I guess that’s why,” she added on why the Big 3 narrative continues to thrive.
