During a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Tiwa Savage shared her views on being part of this elite list, boldly declaring herself as the “Big 1” in terms of talent.

When asked by the host if she felt a need to be considered in the “Big 3” or “Big 4,” Savage did not hold back. “Don’t get me started,” she replied confidently.

“If we are to go talent for talent, mic for mic, I am the Big 1. If you take off the numbers [streams], and whatever you want to judge the big whatever with, you can’t see me on the mic.”

Savage’s remark highlights her belief in her vocal and artistic abilities, suggesting that streaming numbers or other industry metrics don’t fully capture her talent compared to her male counterparts.

“But again,” she added, “it’s not based on that [musical talent],” acknowledging that the current rankings may rely more on metrics beyond raw talent.

The “Big 3” debate has long captivated the Nigerian music scene, with Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy’s fans championing their respective idols.

Tiwa Savage’s confident take on the conversation not only asserts her place in the upper echelons of Nigerian music but also challenges the conventional ranking systems that may overlook artistry in favour of commercial success.

As the debate continues, Tiwa Savage’s strong statement adds fuel to the conversation, opening up discussions on what it truly means to be part of Nigeria’s music elite.
