It’s Unfair to Exclude Tems From Afrobeats Big 3 – Tiwa Savage

Famous Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage has stated that it is unfair not to include Tems in the list of Afrobeats’ top three artistes.
Recall that the‘Big 3’ is widely used to refer to the male trio Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid.
Tiwa argued that the narrative turns a blind eye to the outstanding achievements of leading women in the Afrobeats genre.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, she challenged the exclusionary labelling of female singers and insisted that Tems deserves top-tier recognition.
“Think about it, Certain types of artistes get paid more. So, they get the opportunity to spend more on influencers and radio play so you are going to hear their music way more.
 
“Also, I feel like it is unfair to have a conversation about the Top 3 and not mention someone like Tems. Are you serious?” she asked.
Tems rose to fame in 2020 after her collaboration with Wizkid on ‘Essence’.
She earned her first Grammy in 2023 for her contribution to ‘Wait For U’ in 2022.
In 2025, Tems received her second Grammy Award in the ‘Best African Performance’ category.

Why Davido, Iyabo Ojo missed Tiwa Savage’s father’s burial – Kemi Olunloyo

Nigerian investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has made fresh allegations against Afrobeats star Davido and Iyabo Ojo involving their ties to the late Mohbad and Naira Marley.

In a Facebook post, Olunloyo revisited the 2021 burial of singer Tiwa Savage’s father, pointing out that Davido and Iyabo were two high-profile celebrities who were conspicuously absent.

She alleged that their absence was linked to sensitive controversies surrounding both entertainers.

According to Olunloyo, Iyabo Ojo deliberately stayed away from the burial because the late singer Mohbad was billed to perform. She alleged that Mohbad had discovered that Ojo was allegedly sending his wife, Omowunmi, for hook-ups.

On Davido’s part, the journalist claimed the singer skipped the event because of his dealings with Zinoleesky, one of Marlian Music’s leading acts. She alleged that Davido had sent his aide, Dre DMW, in 2022 to woo Zinoleesky into joining his label, DMW, to weaken Marlian Music, which was enjoying immense success at the time.

Olunloyo further alleged that this move strained Davido’s relationship with Marlian boss Naira Marley, who, according to her, shaded the singer in several tweets throughout 2024.

“The 2 major celebrities that did not attend Tiwa Savãge’s father’s burial were Davido and Iyabo Ojo. Iyabo avoided due to Mohbad performing. He just found out Iyabo was sending his wife on hookups. Davido, for obvious reasons, sent Dre DMW to Zinoleesky in 2022 to get Zino into DMW. Davido wanted to collapse Marlian Music due to their endless success. This is why NM shaded David in tweets throughout 2024. They do not speak,” she wrote.
