Key Points:
- Tiwa thanks fans for the tag, but rejects the crown. She says many women carry Afrobeats on strong backs.
- She says titles add weight she will not bear alone. The tag may force fake calm and extra humble talk.
- The chat with Ebro airs on Apple Music soon. Fans praise her grace, some still push the “queen” tag.
Tiwa Savage has shared a clear stand on a title. Fans call her the “Queen of Afrobeats” with love. She smiles at the praise, yet she says no. The singer spoke on Apple Music with host Ebro.
She says the crown brings a load she will not bear. In her words, “a lot of us are queens.” Titles can push odd rules and stiff, fake calm, she adds. So she thanks fans, yet she will not claim it.
Why Tiwa rejects the ‘Queen of Afrobeats’ tag
She does not want to wear a lone, high crown. That tag sets strict bars she did not draft herself. It can fix how she speaks and moves each day. She says that weight should lie on many, not one.
Her stance follows a Shade Ladipo apology to Tiwa Savage this week.
She fears pressure from a crown she did not claim
Tiwa says the tag can force staged grace and calm. People may judge hard if she slips or speaks bold. She does not want that fear to rule her art. Hence she smiles, nods, and leaves the crown aside.
She salutes peers and notes early global strides
She says many women push the sound each long day. Names sit in her head, and she shows due love. Early wins put her face out west ahead of peers. That path, she says, helped build the “queen” tale.
Last month she shut down a Wizkid trolling claim online. Fans praise her stance and call it pure class. Others still say she owns the tag for her long run. The talk will go on as new songs land soon. For now, Tiwa keeps eyes on work and fair praise.
