Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, says poverty is a driving force for the huge amount of entertainers Nigeria is churning out.
Savage said the hardship in the country made young people explore their talents.
Speaking on the ‘Shopping The Sneakers’ podcast, Savage said living in Nigeria is difficult.
She said, “When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars. To survive in Nigeria is something else so that’s why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers. They are just hustling.”
Nigeria has Africa’s largest movie, music, comedy and fashion industries, with “Nollywood” the second largest movie industry in the world.
