Tiwa Savage says she didn’t have it easy moving back to Nigeria as the people were not ready to accept her.
According to the 39-year-old singer during one of her first performances when she moved back to Nigeria, she was booed by the crowd and stoned with pure water.
She disclosed this to London based Nigerian OAP, Shopsy in an interview to promote her new single “49-99”.
She said: “Moving back to Nigeria was the hardest thing… I’m Nigerian but it felt like I had to prove myself again when I got to Nigeria… I don’t speak pidgin but I can speak Yoruba… I did my first show Kennis music and I remember getting on stage, I had Kele keel it was already big by then and I got on stage and was like ‘hi everyone my name is Tiwa savage” but they started shouting that I should get off the stage and they started stoning me with pure water.
“I remember looking up the stage to Baba Keke who was like ‘just sing don’t talk’ who’s asking you to talk?” It was hard, I felt like I was impersonating being Nigerian.”
