In a recent interview with BET, Tiwa Savage, a popular singer, shared a memory from when she returned to Nigeria from the UK to pursue her music career.

She recalled being barred from performing at concerts due to her outfits being deemed too suggestive.

Additionally, some of her early music videos were not aired for being considered inappropriate.

Tiwa 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.”
