Global Artist, Tiwa Savage has revealed that when she returned to Nigeria from the UK to pursue her musical career, she was barred from performing at concerts because her dresses were too revealing.
She disclosed this during a recent interview with BET.
The ‘Koroba’ hitmaker 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 it. 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.”
