Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian musician, has stated that she was heavily criticized for her “sexy” fashion sense in the early stages of her career.
In a recent interview with Kiss FM in the United Kingdom, Savage spoke about being punished for her “risky” songs when she was younger.
She explained that her fixation with Ayra Starr derives from her experience.
She stated that Ayra Starr has continued to shine in the global music field despite criticism from Nigerians regarding her design sense.
Savage said, “I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too. It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticized a lot for dressing too sexy and my lyrics being too risky.
“So, seeing someone, Ayra now…If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics] say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter.’
“And she looks amazing, she’s extremely talented. Yeah, she’s a star.”
