Singer Tiwa Savage Debunks Sabotaging Female Colleagues
Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has debunked allegations of sabotaging other female artists in the music industry.
She challenged those accusing her of sabotaging her colleagues to mention their sources and come forward with evidence.
Recall that a few years ago Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, accused Tiwa Savage of indirectly blocking her from performing at several shows.
Reacting in a recent episode of the Offair Show, Tiwa Savage explained that she was being wrongly accused of sabotaging the chances of other female artistes to get bookings, claiming that show promoters could be lying to other artists using her name.
“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names. Maybe the promoters are lying and using me, maybe they don’t want to book three, four girls. So, they claim I am the one blocking others,” Savage said.
