Music diva, Tiwa Savage has reached out to American music icon Beyonce to lend her voice to the ongoing #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.
During an Instagram live session, the ‘Koroba’ crooenr spoke about the state of the nation and the ongoing agitation for an end to police brutality. “Nigeria is bad,” she began in a pensive mood. Then she went on to talk about the virtues and thriving spirit of Nigerians in spite of the bad state of the nation. She also called out privileged Nigerians who feel the protests is none of their business.
Tiwa Savage proceeded to call on Beyonce, who recently received praises across the globe for portraying Africa in good light with her visual album, “Black Is King”.
Tiwa said:
“But I want to use my platform right now to call Beyonce and the whole team that reached out to a lot of Nigerians; Nigerian artistes, Nigerian producers, Nigerian video directors, dancers, creatives.
“I’m calling on Beyonce and her team, the same way they used their platform… to elevate and to show the world that Black is King and how beautiful Afrobeat and Africa our culture is. I want them to please use their voice and their platform right because the same country that birth this genre (Afrobeat) is on fire right now.”
“So, I’m calling on Beyonce and her whole team and I’m telling you; you cannot ignore this,” Savage said.
