Award-winning singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage, has claimed that poverty is responsible for the huge amount of entertainers Nigeria is churning out.
According to her, the hardship in the country is making young people explore their talents.
Speaking on the ‘Shopping The Sneakers’ podcast, Savage said living in Nigeria is difficult.
She said,
“When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars. To survive in Nigeria is something else so that’s why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers. They are just hustling.”
Nigeria has Africa’s largest movie, music, comedy, and fashion industries, with Nollywood being the second-largest movie industry in the world.
Tiwa Savage recently set social media ablaze with the release of her latest track, Toma Toma.
The song, which features Ruger, was announced by Tiwa via her Instagram profile, where she thanked fans for their immense support and shared her excitement over the collaboration.
Within hours of its release, fans flocked to social media to express their admiration for the track.
