Singer Tiwa Savage has joined the conversation about the “Big 3” or “Big 4” in the Nigerian music industry.
Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are widely considered the top three Nigerian artists, collectively referred to as the “Big 3.” There are also discussions about adding a fourth name to the list, with artists like Tiwa Savage, Rema, and Asake being suggested.
During a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Tiwa Savage expressed her thoughts on being part of this elite group. She confidently claimed that she is more talented than Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
When asked, “Do you feel like you’ve to be part of the ‘Big 3’ or even ‘Big 4’ conversation? How do you feel about that?” Savage responded, “Don’t get me started. If we are to go talent for talent, mic for mic, I am the big 1. If you take off the numbers [streams], and whatever you want to judge the big whatever with, you can’t see me on the mic. But again, it [the ranking] is not based on that [musical talent].”
