Multiple award-winning Nigerian
singer and mother of one, Tiwa
Savage, has said that the desire
for glamour and appeal is the reason
entertainers cannot stop being sexual
in their performances.
She said this while addressing some
pressing issues in the Nigerian music
industry as a guest on an
entertainment show hosted by Arise
Television, which was monitored by
DAILYPOST.
According to her, entertainers cannot
be stopped from adapting sexual
scenes in their stage-craft but can be
regulated through appropriate
guidelines provided by a competent
body or authority.
She, however, disclosed that
contemporary musicians were
misunderstood in a similar way the
late Afrobeat King, Fela’s dancers
were misunderstood because of their
sexual displays on stage.
Savage said: “There is no way a movie
and entertainment will not have sexual
scenes. You cannot stop an artiste
from being sexual in entertainment
“The only thing we can do as Africans
is to provide guidelines.
“When I performed initially in Nigeria,
they screamed that it was too much;
that it was too sexual. We are still
fighting the same battle the Fela girls
fought.
“Fela’s girls were misunderstood.
What they did on stage was just
entertainment.
“What they do on stage doesn’t mean
that they are loose off stage. People
say Fela is godfather but people forget
the women that added glamour to
Fela’s show.”
