Artist Tiwa Savage has recalled how she was prevented from performing on stage due to her choice of outfit during her rising stage. Tiwa Savage, who just acted in and executive produced her debut feature film ‘Water & Garri’, spoke with BET Talks about her transition from music to film.
Tiwa Savage claims that she encountered discrimination in her early days in the Nigerian music industry due to her sensual clothing and style.
