I saw this write up on African Music Law Website...


2015 opened with beautiful
news from Tiwa Savage and
her music manager husband
T-Billz that they where
expecting a baby. It is the
couple’s first child together.
Now, for loyal “superfans”
of AML, you know we called
this mid last year in 2014 in
podcast episode number 5.
In addition, in that podcast
episode, the main topic was
on Tiwa Savage’s video
‘Wanted’ and the need for
her to think about the fact
that she could and most
likely would start a family
soon, strategize, and avoid
diluting her powerful
brand; which we felt her
‘Wanted’ video was doing.
In any event, Tiwa is now
pregnant and this is great
news, but of course.
However, we haven’t
enjoyed the luxury of seeing
any female music star, in
Nigeria’s contemporary
music industry, rise to the
top, stay there, get
pregnant, have her baby,
come back and still stay at
the top of her game. We
haven’t even had a woman
reach that pinnacle to begin
with.
In the USA, it happens all
the time. From Beyonce to
Alicia Keys, Ciara to Kelly
Rowland, we can cite
numerous stars where
having a baby is seriously
no big deal, it is great news
and they can move on and
show up “Yonce’ing” on the
world with mega moves and
hits. This is a first for
Nigeria. To me, it is exciting
but how will Nigeria’s
entertainment industry
handle it? Are we able to
still continue to hire Tiwa
for live performances? Have
her as brand ambassador
and even expand into home
care products, much like
Kate Henshaw does or will
this be the end of Tiwa
Savage’s mega career as we
know it? I am hoping it is
the former.
I am curious to observe and
watch what happens. Career
goals do change when
babies come into the
picture. In addition,
depending on each woman
and/or their finances, some
may prefer or can afford to
stay home for the utmost
important job of raising
their babies for the first few
years; while others just do
better raising their babies
and doing the work juggle.
I do note Nigerian women
in Nigeria are so lucky
because unlike their
counterparts in the USA or
the UK, they can summon
an army of help to allow
them the luxury of being
able to still run successful
businesses or pursue their
professional careers,
barring any other
hindrances.

Ask her not me
