I got into music because my crush always associated with musicians – Tiwa Savage

Nigerian songstress turned filmmaker, Tiwatope Savage has disclosed that she became a musician because she had a crush on a “guy” who was always around musicians.

According to the music diva, she is singing today for the world because a man caught her attention in the music industry.

The ‘Stamina’ chat-topper shared this surprising revelation about her journey into music during a recent interview with MTV Live to promote her new movie project, “Water and Garri.”

She confessed that her initial passion was for acting, not music. She disclosed that she pursued a career in music because of a crush she had on a particular guy who is often associated with musicians.

“I’ve always wanted to do acting. Acting was one of my first loves before music. I got into music because I had a crush on a guy, and he was always around musicians, so I said, ‘yeah, forget acting and just go into music,’” Tiwa revealed.

Despite her original intentions, Tiwa has undoubtedly made her mark as one of Nigeria’s most prominent and successful musicians.
