Tiwa Savage, a Nigerian musician, has revealed how she was highly attacked for her “sexy” dress style in the early days of her career.
In a recent interview with Kiss FM in the United Kingdom, Savage recounted being chastised for her “risky” songs when she was younger.
She revealed that her obsession with Ayra Starr stems from her experience.
She said that Starr has continued to succeed in the worldwide music arena despite criticism from Nigerians over her fashion choices.
Savage said, “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 for 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.”
