Nigerian artist Tiwa Savage has addressed a common misunderstanding about her persona, which often labels her as a diva.
In a recent interview on Beat 99.9FM, the singer emphasized that, contrary to her stage name, she does not embody the characteristics of a savage; rather, she identifies as a romantic individual.
“I’m definitely a lover girl,” she clarified.
“A lot of the time, when people meet me in person they think I’m a savage or a diva because of my name, and I’m the complete opposite. t’s so bad that when I’m angry, my team members are here and can attest, my pitch gets even higher and they’d just be like alright and okay. It doesn’t phase them,” the artist elaborated. She further mentioned that one area where she does exhibit a fierce attitude is in her professional endeavors, emphasizing that her career propels her into a relentless mode of productivity.
She explained, “I think I’m a beast when it comes to my work, I tend to not take no for an answer and I can call you a million times till the work is done. I could wake up at 6am to pester you on why it’s not done or until you give me a reason. If not I’d find another way to get it done. I think when it comes to work, that’s where the savagery comes in. In my personal life and friends ,I’m a softie.”
Tiwa Savage characterized her current life stage as her ‘Phoenix era,’ signifying the commencement of a new chapter that has risen from the remnants of her previous experiences.
She explained, “I’m currently in my phoenix era, I’ve got the tattoo on my neck. She’s gone though the fire and is just getting out. It’s a rebirth and I’m coming out stronger in terms of love, heartbreaks. I’m a point in life where I’m able to set boundaries and be able to enjoy my hard work. This is the rebirth of tiwa savage.”
