SO YOU WANT TO BE THE NEXT TIWA SAVAGE???

When Tiwa Savage burst on
to the Nigerian music scene 3
years ago she took everyone
by surprise, her rise to fame
has been meteoric since and
even without an album to her
name, Tiwa Savage is one of
those most talked about
celebrities in the land, her
face dominates magazine
covers & her videos get
people talking.
See below 5 Ways Tiwa
Shook Up The Naija
Entertainment Industry
1. CONTROVERSY
Tiwa Savage didnt become
the biggest female music
artiste of recent times by
virtue of her talent alone, She
danced, flipped her weave &
flaunted her goodies all the
way to the top, like she was
personally schooled by the
great Beyonce herself!
Though she has opted for a
more mature style in the last
year, when she made her
debut in 2010, Miss Savage
wore the shortest skirts,
bared her lady lumps & had
the collective pulses of
African men racing.
The Love Me 3x video comes
to mind, she had the industry
shake, men wanted to be
with her and women hated
her! The sexualised video
was a bit too much for the
conservative Nigerian culture
and promptly got banned on
local TV. But rather than
cause her to fade into
obscurity she got people
talking.
2. PICTURE PERFECT IMAGE
Tiwa understands perfectly
the essence of branding
oneself. With her perfectly
coiffed hair, flawless make up
& toned physique, she had
her female contemporaries
signing up to their nearest
gyms in order to keep up.
Brand Tiwa isnt your run off
the mill singer trying to make
a buck, this girl rolls with a
full glam squad, hair, make
up and stylist to boot! Tiwa
rocks gowns not just by
Nigerian designers but high-
end foreign designers like
Stella McCartney, Alexander
Wang & Christian Louboutin
take pride of place in her
extensive wardrobe.
3.ENDORSEMENT DREAM
Her superstar status was
sealed last year when she
signed a deal said to be
worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars with Pepsi making
her the first Nigerian female
to do so. Now her face and
likeness are plastered across
billboards and the back of
Pepsi trucks across the
country.
4. A PARTY AINT A PARTY
UNTIL TIWA COMES
THROUGH
Be it an awards show or a
store opening, your event isnt
popping if Tiwa isnt
comingperiod! Even if its just
to smile & look pretty for the
cameras, having the name
Tiwa Savage attached to your
event guarantees you column
inches.
5. PUBLIC PERSONAL LIFE
She has tried to keep her
private life to herself, but her
recent engagement to her
manager Tee Billz, which was
filmed, and broadcast across
TV and Internet just shows
how fascinated people are by
her.
So there you have it, thats
the Tiwa Savage manual to
stardom. It may or may not
work for you, just ask all the
other female artistes coming
after her trying to jack her
swag.
