Popular singer Tiwa Savage has recalled that when she returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom to pursue her musical career, she was prevented from performing at concerts because her outfit was \u201ctoo risqu\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n
She revealed that some of her earlier music videos were not aired because they were considered indecent.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Koroba\u2019 hitmaker disclosed this in a recent interview with BET.<\/p>\n
Savage said, \u201cWhen I first moved back, I would turn up at a show and they would say I can\u2019t perform because my outfit was too risqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a cultural issue. Even some of my first music videos were not played on the television because they were considered indecent. I wasn\u2019t even wearing bikinis. Despite the setbacks, I was still stubborn. My dresses were getting more revealing. It was just getting worse. They were bashing me online.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was funny because the females were secretly falling in love with me and my style. They couldn\u2019t deny. My fanbase, my followers, was growing. So they had to put me on shows and play my music because there was a demand for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
