Singer Tiwa Savage recently joined the conversation around the “Big 3” or “Big 4” in the Nigerian music industry.
Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy are widely regarded as the current top three Nigerian artists and are collectively referred to as the “Big 3.”
There are also conversations about adding a fourth name to the list, with many tipping artists like Tiwa Savage, Rema, Asake and others.
In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Tiwa shared her views on being part of this exclusive list. She confidently claimed her talent surpasses that of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, who are usually seen as the top three.
When asked, “Do you feel you should be part of the ‘Big 3’ or ‘Big 4’ conversation? How do you feel about that?” Tiwa responded, “Don’t get me started. If we’re talking talent for talent, mic for mic, I’m the Big 1. If you take away the numbers (like streams) and any other ranking criteria, you won’t match me on the mic. But again, the ranking isn’t based on that (musical talent).”
