During the coronation of King Charles III, Tiwa Savage delivered an unforgettable performance at the event. She confided in her mum the news about her performing at the event and asked her not tell anyone.
According to the award-wining artist, she was surprised when her brother called. Immediately, she knew her mum could not keep her little secret. Speaking during an interview on MTV UK, she said it took her mum less than 20 minutes to inform her brother.
“When I got the call about performing at the King’s coronation, I didn’t tell a lot of people at first. But eventually, I told my mum and as always I was like, Mum, please don’t tell anyone. Then literally 20 minutes later, my brother is calling me, he was like, ‘Oh my gush!’ And I’m like, mum, wow! So, I’m not telling my mum anything again,” she said.
The ‘somebody’s son’ hitmaker also mentioned that, she didn’t know how a big deal the opportunity was. Probably because she didn’t know who else will be performing, not to talk of being the only one representing the commonwealth.
“Initially, I didn’t realize how big a deal it [performing at the King’s coronation] was. And I also didn’t know who else was going to be performing either. So, I didn’t know I was going to be the only one representing the Commonwealth. So, when I started getting that information, I was like, ‘Wow! No pressure.’ It was great though… Like I said, to represent the Commonwealth, and just looking back at the performance. It was iconic. It was such a great experience for me,” Tiwa continued.
Tiwatope Omolara Savage, known professionally as Tiwa Savage, has released a lot of songs as well as collaborating with other international artist. She has also won numerous awards for her hard work and contributions to the music scene.
Once thing definitely stands out; Twa Savage has become the only Nigerian artist to perform at a royal event such as King Charles’ coronation concert.
