Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage was a guest on “The Truth” (a TV show) with Olisa Adibua on Saturday October 4, 2014.
The “Kelekele” crooner opened up on so many issues, starting from the controversial video for her song “Wanted”, her journey into the music industry and so on. But, she refused to talk about her husband, her honeymoon or her rumored troubled marriage.
Here is what she said about her controversial raunchy video for “Wanted“….
“Every woman has that element and that period where they just feel sexy inside.I think I was going through a phase .Yea I wasn’t scared to show it and wasn’t scared of any backlash that was going to come ,because I know that whatever happens,I can always back up any controversy with my talent .The song is my favorite in my album.It might not be most people’s cup of tea in Nigeria, but internationally ,they listen to that song and they love it .They guy who produced it is Oak, who produced “Your love “for Nicki Minaj.So I love the song.
I’m influenced by Beyonce and by Mariah Carey by Rihanna, Brandy.I’m influenced all the time .I wasn’t thinking whether Nigeria was ready or not, I was just doing something from an artistic point of view.No regrets at all.”
