Nigerian music sensation Tiwa Savage has distanced herself from the widely used title “Queen of Afrobeats,” emphasizing that many women in the genre deserve equal recognition. She believes that accepting the label would bring undue pressure and prefers to focus on her music without such formal titles.
The singer’s prominence in the industry, particularly as one of the first Nigerian female artists to achieve international recognition, likely contributed to the nickname. Despite this, she maintains that the success of other female artists in Afrobeats should not be overlooked, and she values the appreciation while choosing not to formally adopt the title.
Tiwa’s stance reflects her belief in humility and her desire to allow emerging talent to share the spotlight, rather than claiming a singular position within the genre.
