I Once Hated Being African, Now Afrobeats Made Me Proud: Tiwa Savage Declares

Nigerian music star, Tiwa Savage, has shared an emotional reflection on her journey as an African artist, revealing that she once struggled with her identity while growing up in London. Speaking at the Unstoppable Africans event, Tiwa addressed recent claims that Afrobeats is losing momentum, firmly rejecting the idea and declaring that the genre is stronger than ever. The singer noted that despite limited support and infrastructure, Afrobeats has become one of the fastest-growing music genres in the world, filling up stadiums and dominating global charts. “Afrobeats is the fastest growing genre in the world. We kind of created it with nothing — no support, no infrastructure, no real belief even from our own people initially,” she said. Tiwa explained that her pride in being African has grown immensely as the genre continues to elevate the continent’s image worldwide. “I remember growing up in London, and I was not happy being African. But now I’m so proud because of how big Afrobeats is growing,” she added. The “Somebody’s Son” crooner emphasized that Afrobeats has defied all predictions of being a short-lived trend. “They said Afrobeats would have its 15 minutes of fame and fade away, but we are still here, stronger than ever,” she remarked. She further noted that African artists are now selling out arenas, topping international charts, and changing the global perception of Africa through music. “I don’t know how true it is, but they say one in every four black persons is Nigerian or African. We are not going anywhere. As much as they try to quiet us, we are unstoppable,” Tiwa declared. Her passionate speech has since gone viral, inspiring fans across the world and reaffirming her status as one of the leading voices of Afrobeats’ global movement.

No Peace in Polygamy — Rapper Erigga Opens Up on Pain of Growing Up in a Polygamous Home

Popular Nigerian rapper, Erigga, has spoken candidly about the negative effects of polygamy, describing it as a source of deep emotional pain for women and children. During an interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the Warri-born artist reflected on his childhood experiences in a polygamous family, revealing that the difficult realities of that upbringing shaped his decision to embrace monogamy. According to Erigga, while polygamy may appear glamorous to outsiders, it often leads to jealousy, rivalry, and resentment within families. He noted that the emotional toll of such relationships falls mostly on women and children, who often struggle with neglect and competition for affection. “I’m trying not to be like my father. I don’t like polygamy; one person always gets hurt, which is the woman. There’s never a polygamous situation where the man gets hurt — it’s always the woman and the kids,” he said. The rapper explained that peace and stability in relationships come from mutual respect and understanding, not from the number of wives a man has. He added that managing multiple partners only creates emotional confusion and unnecessary conflict. Erigga, known for his raw honesty and street wisdom, advised men to choose simplicity and focus on building strong, healthy families with one partner. He concluded by stressing that true happiness comes from love, unity, and contentment — values that can only thrive in a peaceful home. Whether or not fans agree with his stance, Erigga’s message offers a sobering reminder that behind the glamour of polygamy often lies silent pain and emotional struggle.
