Tiwa Savage Wants Even More Nigerian Women to Support Her
To thrive in the Nigerian entertainment industry, one needs gut to face competitors and trolls alike.
One of Nigeria’s top female singers, Tiwa Savage has always been vocal about getting support from her colleagues and fans but just like every other successful artiste, that has not stopped her from getting trolled.
On Monday evening, Tiwa took to her Twitter to express disappointment at some Nigerian ladies following an insensitive tweet from a troll who insinuated that Tiwa makes music for call girls.
Duduke is for people in good and healthy relationship… Ashawo relax Tiwa Savage will soon sing your own ??

However, another Twitter user reacted to the troll’s post by saying that Tiwa is often disrespected by other women even though she has helped put Nigerian music on the map.
Tiwa agreed to the fan’s post and said that she doubts the hate will ever stop. She also compared the hate she receives from fans to how her foreign counterparts like Rihanna and Beyonce are shown great love by their fans. OAP Dotun also showed his support by revealing that Tiwa Savage tried to help Cynthia Morgan.

In response to her tweets, Nigerian ladies are tweeting that they have and will always support Tiwa and she should ignore the trolls.
Check out the tweets below:
Tiwa Savage has always had the support of Nigerians even when she talks nonsense. This agenda that they do not support her is baseless. Yemi Alade should be the one complaining.

You constantly peddling the narrative that women hate you is like corporate black people who love to say black people hate eachother forgetting what caused it in the first place even if its true. Lots of women love &look up to you but you still constantly say this every 2 months.

Forget about the disrespect mama jay. The street loves u. As far as I'm concern no female artiste has ever come close to your level in d industry. You are giving the men a run for their money.

Seriously Tiwa? You want to remain abroad because of people's mouth? Girl you disappoint me. Don't you know your strength? You're an extraordinary woman, far stronger than all their tongues combine together & people like me look up to you. Ignore bad energy, do your thing.
