Speaking at the Unstoppable Africans event recently, Savage reiterated that Afrobeats is unstoppable and has continued to gain more grounds on charts and tours.
Savage emphasized the cultural impact of Afrobeats,as she recalled how she used to be unhappy about being an African growing up in London,until she acknowledged the positive image the music genre,Afrobeats is giving the continent ,a fact that made her become proud of her race.
Tiwa hilighted how Afrobeats has achieved a lot, despite the minimal support,lack of structure or infrastructure needed for growing the genre.
Hear her,
“Afrobeats is the fastest growing genre in the world. We kind of created it with nothing; no support, no infrastructure, no real belief even from our own people initially.”
“I remember growing up in London and I was not happy being African. But now I’m so proud because of how big Afrobeats is growing.
“There was a conversation at one point that Afrobeats is going to have its 15 minutes of fame and then fades away. But we are still here. We are not slowing down. In fact, we are filling out stadiums, and we are getting the biggest songs on the charts right now.”
