Arise TV Morning Show host, Dr Reuben Abati has applauded Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage for her performance at the coronation concert of King Charles III at Windsor Castle on Sunday evening.

The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla was held on Saturday at Westminster Abbey.

Sharing is thoughts on the event, Dr Abati congratulated Tiwa for representing Nigeria on the stage and wished she could have performed her hit single, Ma Lo which features Wizkid and Spellz.

"Congratulations to her. I see some bad belle people as we call them saying what is Tiwa Savage doing there like some other artists like Ed Sheeran who turned down the invitation and that she went to identify with the colonial masters."

"Well, I disagree absolutely. I think it was a great outing for her and her performance was very impressive. Infact, I thought she was going to perform robo skeske so that we get to dance."

Tiwa was one of about a dozen artistes billed for the concert.

She was introduced on stage as the Queen of Afro beats by the announcer as she appeared in a green gown to deliver "Keys to the Kingdom" track.

The over three-minute performance had a fusion of Nigerian local music when a drummer appeared on stage as Tiwa delivered Yoruba-like dance steps to loud applause.

Her performance ended with applause from members of the royal family and cheers from the audience.
