‘I am more talented than Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy’ – Tiwa Savage
Tiwa Savage has joined the ongoing discussion around Nigeria’s “Big 3” or potentially expanding it to a “Big 4” in the music industry.
In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Savage shared her perspective on being considered for such an elite group. Confidently, she suggested that her talent might surpass the established “Big 3.” She expressed that her skills and achievements could place her at the top of Nigeria’s music royalty, sparking fresh conversations on who truly defines the country’s music scene.
The host asked, “Do you feel like you’ve to be part of the ‘Big 3’ or even ‘Big 4’ conversation? How do you feel about that?”
Savage replied, “Don’t get me started. If we are to go talent for talent, mic for mic, I am the big 1. If you take off the numbers [streams], and whatever you want to judge the big whatever with, you can’t see me on the mic. But again, it [the ranking] is not based on that [musical talent].”
