Nigerian music superstar, Tiwa Savage, has boldly declared that Afrobeats is unstoppable, shutting down claims that the genre is currently struggling or losing its global influence.
Speaking at the Unstoppable Africans Event, Tiwa said that Afrobeats continues to break new records, fill stadiums, and top international charts proving critics wrong.
She recalled her childhood experience growing up in London, revealing that she once felt unhappy being African, but the global success of Afrobeats has made her deeply proud of her roots.
“I remember growing up in London and I was not happy being African. But now, I’m so proud because of how big Afrobeats is growing,” she said.
Tiwa Savage explained that despite the lack of support and proper music infrastructure, Afrobeats has become the fastest-growing genre in the world, powered by raw passion and creativity.
“We created Afrobeats with nothing, no support, no structure, no belief at the start. But today, we are filling stadiums and getting the biggest songs on global charts,” she added.
The singer also emphasized the cultural pride that Afrobeats has inspired across Africa and beyond, saying the movement has shown the world that Africans are unstoppable.
“As much as they try to quiet us down, the music is not going anywhere. We are Africans and we are unstoppable,” Tiwa concluded.
