Tiwa Savage’s sexy dresses during her performances have been criticized by many people.
It’s
no doubt Tiwa Savage is one of the finest female musicians in Nigeria
and even West Africa. But apart from this beautiful lady’s talent, she
is a subject of her constant controversial twerking abilities and
performances which many feel is inappropriate considering the fact that
she is married.
The latest is a piece written about Tiwa Savage by Adedayo Ademuwagun.
Read
the piece below: Married people all over the world are expected to
behave with some degree of propriety, unless perhaps they’re Kim
Kardashian or Tiwa Savage. People have been talking about Tiwa Savage’s
style before and after she got married.
The
latest one happened last week after the singer twerked (again), rubbing
herself on artiste, Patoranking at the Headies night. It wasn’t the
first time she’d be twerking on the young man – she did at the Channel O
Awards in November when they both performed their collaborative effort,
Girly O together. Then two months before, she performed at a gig in
London wearing a bodysuit that many thought was plainly preposterous.
One
entertainment blogger wrote after pictures from the London gig spread
on blogs, “The diva is no doubt channelling her inner sexiness, but the
pretty Mavin first lady has been serving constant sultriness almost to a
point of obscenity these days! The rather obscene look [at the London
gig] appeared tacky and did absolutely nothing for Tiwa’s shape.”
There’s
no crime if an artiste is making news for twerking and “channelling her
inner sexiness”, as that blogger put it. After all, Miley Cyrus and
some others do that. But the thing is, Tiwa Savage is a dozen years
older than Miley, and unlike Miley, she’s married. Tiwa Savage didn’t
start like this though.
She
already had an impressive beginning when she set up her music career in
Lagos four years ago. She had done pretty well at X Factor UK,
co-written internationally acclaimed songs, backed up for Mary J. Blige
and George Michael and graduated from Berklee, a music school whose
alumni have won a combined 229 Grammy awards. So she wasn’t just a
pretty face with a sexy body.
She
was a talented singer with a lot of potential, and fans wanted to
listen to her music, not look at her butt. Today she’s grown famous and
done really well for herself, but she’s also transformed herself from a
promising singer to a sex symbol, building her brand on her Intimate
appeal rather than her singing ability. The result is quite obvious.
She’s produced only one album in four years.
She
hasn’t produced a single major hit without Don Jazzy ever. She may be
getting awards, but considering the inspiring impression she made when
she first surfaced, it looks like Tiwa Savage is not living up to her
potential. Patricia says, “Tiwa doesn’t have to bare her body to get to
the top. She can sing, and she’s very likable.
I
feel she really needs to take another look at her brand and think about
if all these years of scanty dressing and Intimate gestures have
actually paid off for her big time. Let’s face it. She’s not making any
great music these days.” Tiwa Savage is now 34 years old and she’s
getting past her prime.
Plus
she seems to be in the middle of a torrid marriage. Two months ago,
news broke that she and her husband were fighting about cheating and
physical abuse. It looked like the marriage was in trouble. A lot of
people are appalled by the Tiwa Savage’s style since she married, and
some people feel it’s not helping her marriage.
Ovie
says, “Tiwa Savage was like this before she married Teebillz, but the
surprising thing is that she’s been even more immodest as a married
woman. I don’t see how this is not affecting her marriage.
I
mean I imagine that I’m Teebillz and I’m sitting in a hall watching my
wife, not my girlfriend, my wife, dancing carelessly with another man in
front of the public. Any sane husband who really cares about their
marriage and his wife’s dignity will certainly object to that.
I
don’t know why Tiwa is doing all this or why her husband isn’t saying a
word about it. Does her husband truly love her? I don’t know, but I
guess we all know what it means to love someone.”
