Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has stirred up a flurry of reactions with her recent remarks labeling the Nigerian music industry as “filled with dangerous sharks.” Her statement, shared via her Instagram stories, has divided opinions among fans and sparked widespread speculation about its deeper meaning.
Earlier this week, Tiwa posted a video of herself swimming near sharks with an oxygen mask, revealing that the daring experience was part of her bucket list. While the video gained traction online, it also left many fans concerned about her safety.
In response to their worries, the singer shared another post, saying:
“The real danger lies within the Nigerian music industry.
Everyone worried about me swimming with sharks, but the ones in this music industry are way more f**king dangerous.”
Her candid observation quickly ignited conversations online, with fans and critics alike sharing their opinions. While some supported her statement, others questioned her intentions.
