Tiwa Savage names Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid among artistes inspiring her

Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has disclosed that fellow music stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are among the artistes who inspire her.

Speaking in an interview with Rolling Stone Africa, Savage explained that she takes musical inspiration from a wide range of people, including those within her circle.

She mentioned Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy together with American singer Brandy and jazz music, while noting that she ultimately looks up to God.

“I am inspired by so many people. Musically, I am inspired by Brandy…I also listento Jazz… I am inspired by my peers,” she said.

“You know, Wiz, Burna, David. You know, everybody. I am inspired by so many people but I look up to God.”

Her remarks come a year after Savage openly criticised the “Big 3” label commonly used to refer to Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy as Nigeria’s leading global music exports.

In 2025, she argued that the term ignores top female artistes in Afrobeats.

She noted that certain categories of artistes earn more and have greater promotional resources, which affects how frequently their music is heard.

She also stated that it is unfair to talk about a top three without including Tems.
