Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Tiwa Savage, has urged her colleagues in the music industry to remain humble despite their fame and success.

Speaking in a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, New York, Tiwa emphasized that Afrobeats artists are only ambassadors of the movement and should not let fame intoxicate them.

“We are just ambassadors, we are just like the faces of Afrobeats. And that’s why we can’t let it get into our heads, because we are just vessels and there can be somebody else. God can take it away like that. So, you have to be grounded. You have to be humble,” she said.

The singer warned that it is more devastating to rise to fame and then fall than never to have tasted it at all.

“Imagine, coming this far and then falling. That is worse than not ever tasting fame. I would rather have never seen in my life than seen and lose my sight,” she added.

Tiwa Savage also praised some of her colleagues, noting how much she admires their artistry and individuality.

“I love Ayra Starr, it’s almost an obsession. I see myself in her, but I see a more confident one. I love the mystery behind Tems. You don’t know too much about her, and she doesn’t care. I love Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania. He is so talented and he has put his community on the map.”
