Tiwa Savage, a Grammy-winning singer from Nigeria, has pledged never again to tell her mother anything private.
She claims that after receiving an invitation to play at King Charles III’s coronation, she informed her mother about it and begged her not to tell anybody, but the mother quickly notified her brother.
This was revealed by the singer of “All Over” in an interview with MTV UK.
Tiwa Savage said she didn’t realise initially how big a deal it was to perform at the King’s coronation.
She said, “When I got the call about performing at the King’s coronation, I didn’t tell a lot of people at first. But eventually, I told my mum and as always I was like, Mum, please don’t tell anyone. Then literally 20 minutes later, my brother is calling me, he was like, ‘Oh my gush!’ And I’m like, mum, wow! So, I’m not telling my mum anything again.
“Initially, I didn’t realize how big a deal it [performing at the King’s coronation] was. And I also didn’t know who else was going to be performing either. So, I didn’t know I was going to be the only one representing the Commonwealth. So, when I started getting that information, I was like, ‘Wow! No pressure.’ It was great though.
“Like I said, to represent the Commonwealth, and just looking back at the performance. It was iconic. It was such a great experience for me.”
