Queen of Nigeria pop music, Mavin Records act and mother of one Tiwa Savage, open ups on how she overcame sexual harassment in music industry which is full of male artistes.

On March 31st, 2016, Nigeria female pop singer Tiwa Savage was invited as a speaker at Youth Enterprise Conference, held at the magnificent Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Sexual harassment

The Nigerian music industry is awash with tales of men asking for sex from female artistes before giving them any form of assistance. It was not different for Tiwa Savage in the early days of her career. This much the singer revealed to Entertainer.
Recounting her experience, Tiwa Savage continued: “A lot of times they said that they wanted to help me but actu­ally they wanted me to do ‘something’ with them. Luckily I had a crazy boyfriend who ended up being my husband. He just shot them down.
“If you are really talented and good at what you do and you have God behind you, don’t give in to that kind of temp­tation. I guarantee you that your talent will make a way for you. The same people will be the ones calling and you will even get more than you ever imagined if you don’t give in.”
Commenting on her relationship with her fans, Tiwa Sav­age said she has never had a situation where a fan publicly embarrassed her: “Nobody has physically done anything harmful to me. Even when people say bad things about me, my songs, my husband or my marriage, I don’t think I have to take it personal. Of course, I am human,” the singer con­cluded.
