Tiwa Savage set to headline Wembley Arena as first female Afrobeats artist

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Tiwa Savage is set to make history again as she is to become the first female Afrobeats artiste to headline Wembley Arena. This is coming on the heels of her historic performance and the coronation of Prince Charles III in the United Kingdom recently.

The award-winning singer is set to headline the Wembley OVO Arena on November 26 in a historic performance she promises would be unforgettable.

While appearing on ‘The Good Morning Britain Show’, Tiwa Savage spoke about her journey to superstardom, the influence of her Nigerian roots on her music, performing at Prince Charles’ coronation, and her upcoming show in the UK.

When asked about the rise of Afrobeats, Tiwa Savage stated that black music including Hip Hop and Soul started from the slaves taken from Africa so Afrobeats’ international fame is a full circle as it’s the root.

Tiwa Savage was born in Nigeria where she grew up until she left at the age of 11 for her secondary and university education in the UK. According to Tiwa Savage, her Nigerian roots are imprinted in her music and she always blends English with Yoruba to showcase her dual influences.

Tiwa Savage also shared that she felt honoured and delighted to have performed at the King Charles III coronation ceremony where she was the first Nigerian artiste to grace such stage.
