Multiple award-winning Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has
said that the desire for glamour and appeal is the reason entertainers cannot
stop being sexual in their performances.
She said this while addressing some pressing issues in the Nigerian music
industry as a guest on an entertainment show
According to her, entertainers cannot be stopped from
adapting sexual scenes in their stagecraft but can be regulated through
appropriate guidelines provided by a competent body or authority.
She disclosed that contemporary musicians were misunderstood in a similar way
the late Afrobeat King, Fela’s dancers were misunderstood because of their
sexual displays on stage.
Savage said:
“There is no way a movie and entertainment will not have sexual scenes. You cannot stop an artiste from being sexual in entertainment“The only thing we can do as Africans is to provide guidelines.“When I performed initially in Nigeria, they screamed that it was too much; that it was too sexual. We are still fighting the same battle the Fela girls fought.“Fela’s girls were misunderstood. What they did on stage was just entertainment.
“What they do on stage doesn’t mean that they are loose off stage. People say Fela is godfather but people forget the women that added glamour to Fela’s show.”Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
