Afrobeats sensation Tiwa Savage recently opened up about what she believes is driving the wave of talented entertainers emerging from Nigeria.

Her perspective sheds light on the resilience of the Nigerian spirit amid challenging circumstances.

Speaking during an episode of the Shopping The Sneakers podcast, Tiwa shared her thoughts on how poverty and hardship have become unexpected catalysts for creativity among the nation’s youth.

“When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars,” she began, painting a vivid picture of the realities many Nigerians face.

“To survive in Nigeria is something else, so the artists that come out of here are just hustlers. They are hustling to make it.”

Her words highlight the unique blend of determination and talent that characterises Nigerian artists, many of whom draw from personal struggles to fuel their success.

For Tiwa, the country’s challenging environment is not just a backdrop but a driving force, shaping the stories and music that resonate far beyond its borders.
