I don’t care about top 3, I’m a queen on my own — Tiwa Savage

Nigerian superstar, Tiwa Savage, has boldly inserted herself into the ongoing debate over who the “Top 3” music stars in the Nigerian music industry are, declaring that she cares little for the rankings.

Performing before a packed audience at her London concert yesterday, the Afrobeats queen addressed the chatter with characteristic sass and authority.

In a video obtained by Per Second News, Tiwa stated bluntly that she is in her own world and deserves respect as the reigning queen of the industry.

The debate about Nigeria’s “Top 3” artists has long revolved around the likes of Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, with new-generation stars like Rema, Asake, and Ayra Starr constantly trying to muscle their way into the conversation.

Dressed in a dazzling custom-made outfit, Tiwa paused her set to deliver what many in attendance described as a “sting” to her critics.

“I don’t care about your Top 3 or Top 5,” she declared, her voice carrying through the arena. “I’m in my own lane. I’m the queen, and that should be respected.”

Her words instantly triggered loud cheers from her fans, many of whom had turned out in large numbers to celebrate her consistency in the industry.
