Nigerian music star and actress Tiwa Savage recently opened up about how, in the beginning of her career, her “sexy” fashion sense drew harsh criticism.
In a recent interview with Kiss FM, UK, Savage recalled that, when she was younger, she was also made fun of for her “risky” lyrics.
She admitted that, as a result of her encounter, she had an obsession with Ayra Starr.
She noted that Starr has continued to shine on the global music scene despite the criticisms hauled at her by Nigerians over her dressing sense.
Savage said,
“I love Ayra [Starr]. I’m obsessed with her. She’s amazing and genuine, too. It makes me emotional because when I started, I got criticised a lot for dressing too sexy and my lyrics being too risky.
“So, seeing someone, Ayra now…If I see her wearing the short skirts as they [critics] say, I’m like, ‘Make it shorter.’
In a different story, Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she prefers to work with attractive colleagues.
In a CNN interview, Savage expressed her distaste for kissing sequences involving someone she finds unattractive and emphasised the value of her co-star’s nice appearance and breath.
When questioned about her ideal acting partner during an interview with Larry Madowo on CNN African Voices, Savage said she would be open to any actor that fit her definition of beauty.
She expressed her unease about having multiple kissing moments with someone who is not physically attractive, saying,
“Anyone hot. You never want to have a kissing scene with someone that’s not hot. That’s horrible because it’s not just once, it’s over and over again. So if the person is not hot, I don’t know.
“The cheque has to be big for me to be convincing. But yeah as long as the person is hot and has good breath.”
