Nigerian labels refused to sign me - Tiwa talks about her career

Tiwa Savage, Nigerian singer, has revealed her career struggles in a recent interview hosted by Ebuka on Bounce Radio Live.

According to the star, major record labels in Nigeria refused to sign her before she created one with former manager Teebillz.

On why she went back to Mavin records, Tiwa stated that she went back after being originally rejected because Don Jazzy was an amazing producer who created stars and the label also felt like family.

She added that she left Mavin years later because she wanted to take the risk of being on her own even though it was a scary move, and added that sometimes people had to leave for other acts to grow.

Tiwa further stated that male artistes were always excused for some behaviours but females always got thrown under the bus for doing the same thing.
