Tiwa Savage, Mavin artiste who has been touted as the most successful female artiste in Nigeria at the moment, has said she gets three to four hours sleep in a day.
The singer whose new song with Duncan Mighty ‘Lova lova’ is currently getting airplay, has said she works hard a lot and people around her know it.
Speaking in a chat with Soundcity FM, she said:” I work a lot, I work hard and people around me know. I am not even exaggerating. I probably get three to four hours at most of sleep in a day.
“I’m in the studio. Even if I’m not recording I am sleeping in the studio just absorbing sound and just being around that environment. I am also very discerning. I watch people, I watch their strategies. Not that I would copy what this person is doing but I’ll be so inspired (and) that will make me do it in my way.”
When asked to comment about her perceived rift with Yemi Alade, she said: “There is no bad vibe between us. Every time we see each other, it’s just a mutual respect we have for each other and that’s not being trying to be political about it”.
Savage was further questioned about the dominance of male artistes in the African music space, she said: “There are a lot of female artistes and they are not getting airplay and they get their videos played on TV
“I don’t think that’s the fault or the female artiste’s management. I think, especially in Nigeria, or in Africa, we are just accustomed to male artistes. We’re accustomed to their sound, their brand, their lifestyle, everything. We’re accustomed to them being stars and that just needs to change. But I think a lot of females are doing it”.
