‘I was criticised for dressing too sexy’ – Tiwa Savage

In a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage recalled that, when she was younger, she was also made fun of for her "risky" lyrics.

She admitted that, as a result of her encounter, she had an obsession with Ayra Starr.

She pointed out that despite the insults directed at her by Nigerians over her fashion choices, Starr has persevered in her success on the international music industry.

Savage stated,

“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 criticised 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.”
