Tiwa savage says African music is bigger than Davido, Wizkid and Burna boy

Tiwa savage clears the air on her ‘big 3’ comment

Tiwa Savage has made it clear that she is not a fan of the ongoing “Big 3” narrative in Afrobeats that centers on Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.

Speaking on American radio show The Breakfast Club, the award-winning singer addressed a comment she made at her London album launch concert, where she declared, “F**k the Big 3.” 

The statement stirred reactions online, with many fans assuming she was attacking the superstar trio.

Tiwa, however, clarified that her words were not directed at them personally but at the narrative itself.

“Not f**k them. But like F that narrative. This is a continent with so many artists, but we keep reducing it to three artists every time,” she explained.

According to her, while Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy undeniably command massive fan bases, African music should not be boxed into just three names. 

“They have a very big fan base. Their fan bases are active, I guess that’s why,” she added.
