Tiwa Savage, a true icon of Nigerian music, has hinted that her next album could be her last. It's a surprising announcement that's left fans and the music world buzzing. At 44, after years of incredible success, she shared on Instagram that she's feeling exhausted, saying, “This might be my last studio album. I am tired, I don try.” (a Pidgin English phrase meaning "I'm tired, I've tried").
Tiwa, born Tiwatope Savage, has been a force since her debut single, "Kele Kele Love," burst onto the scene in 2010. But her story goes way back. Before conquering the Nigerian music scene, she was building a career on the international stage. In 1996, she began her musical journey as a backup singer for huge names like Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, and Destiny’s Child. She even competed on the UK's X Factor in 2006, making it to the top 24.
She's a songwriter too, signing a major deal with Sony/ATV in 2009 and writing hits for artists like Jaicko and Kat DeLuna. She even earned a Grammy nomination in 2010 for her work with Fantasia.
Then, in 2010, she came back to Nigeria, and that's when Tiwa Savage truly became a household name. Her Afrobeat sound resonated with millions, and she's been releasing hit after hit ever since, collaborating with artists around the globe.
