Tiwa Savage, the queen of Afrobeats, has encouraged kindness and the pursuit of self-discovery, particularly in the era of social media.
In a recent interview with Dose of Society, the Afrobeats legend voiced concerns about the way social media feeds insecurity and warps reality.
She urged people to love themselves and others more, noting that excessive pressure on social media can easily cause one to break.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love. Especially when we look at social media I just look and see things that are make-believe. We all know it’s not real, but we’re all just putting pressure on ourselves when all we need to do is love a little bit more.”

“You should know that social media is only a fragment of people’s real life, so when you start putting things into perspective I think you’d start appreciating yourself more . Live in the moment more”
Tiwa Savage also shared the advice she would give to her younger self, emphasising the power of persistence and self-trust.
“Figure it out, get up and figure it out. I know you think everyone has the manual to life. The only thing you owe yourself is to wake up , be present and literally try. Even if you fail or win ,you’d figure it out. Nobody has your life, we may have examples and templates and people we look up to but nobody has your exact dreams so figure it out for you. If god wakes me up, I have an opportunity to figure it out.”

@uncle.jjordan:
“Tiwa just spoke the truth we all need to hear: Life doesn’t come with a manual. We’re all just figuring it out as we go..
sometimes we win, sometimes we fail, but the key is to keep showing up and stay present in the process. No one has it all together, and that’s okay. Embracing the uncertainty is where growth lives. Thank you for reminding us to be patient with ourselves and keep moving forward, even when the path isn’t clear.”
