With fans anxiously waiting for Tiwa Savage‘s forthcoming album, Celia, the multi-award-winning singer, teased that she might have to go naked in her next musical video shoot in order to quash the accolades her last project received.
The 40-year-old vocalist, revealed while speaking to BBC on what to expect from her forthcoming album.
“I might just have to go butt naked in my next video, because I don’t know what else I’m going to have to do to top that one!” she said.
“And, just to put it out there, this was done in Nigeria. All the cast is Nigerian, the director, the AP, everybody is Nigerian.
“I love the fact that I could present this to the label and say this was done in Africa by Africans; this is what we can do. Imagine when you invest in us even more, you would get amazing work.”

Speaking on what fans should expect from her forthcoming project Tiwa stated that the album is a “whole mix of the emotions an African woman goes through.”
“We’re going through this pandemic. So the idea was I want to let them know that I’m still a boss, that I’m still beautiful; that I’m still African,” she explained.
“People have been really really creative with it which is amazing. The album is a whole mix of the emotions an African woman goes through. Love, aspiration, being bossy, being sexy, being vulnerable.
“All of that is what I think the modern African woman is, and that’s what I wanted to portray. It’s really touched my heart to see that people are having a hard time during this. I mean we’re blessed to be at home, we have light, we can pile up food for months if we want to.
“But there’s some people who can’t, people who only have money for today or food for today. So this pandemic has really opened my heart to the real situation of where the world is right now.”
Last year, Tiwa Savage left Don Jazzy‘s Mavin Records after 7 years to sign a global recording deal with Universal Music Group (UMG). The US music company boasts of artistes like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga.
