Tiwa Savage, a prominent singer in the Nigerian music scene, has drawn mixed reactions following her recent comments describing the industry as “filled with dangerous sharks.”

The statement, made via her Instagram stories, has left fans divided, with many expressing their disappointment and speculating about the inspiration behind her words.

Earlier in the week, Savage had posted an underwater video of herself swimming close to sharks while wearing an oxygen mask, revealing it was part of her bucket list. The clip, which went viral, sparked concern among fans about her safety.

In response, she reassured them in a follow-up post, saying, “The real danger lies within the Nigerian music industry. Everyone worried about me swimming with sharks, but the ones in this music industry are way more f**king dangerous.”

Her comments have ignited debates online, with fans offering mixed reactions. One fan, @sirr_dq, criticized, saying, “Coming from someone who hasn’t grown any artist in the country…women supporting women my foot.” Another, @gideon_ggg, remarked, “Lol, once Dem no hear their gbedu again, Dem go start dey fight imaginary enemy.”

Others questioned the vagueness of her remarks, with @bello234owner commenting, “We don hear. 2025, no more sympathy support. If you can’t tell us every detail of the situation, then don’t start at all.” Another added bluntly, @opeyemi424203: “Then leave the industry.”

Savage’s statement continues to spark discussions, with many eager to understand the deeper context behind her pointed remarks.
