My dream was to become an actress – Tiwa Savage

Renowned singer Tiwatope Omolara Savage, known professionally as Tiwa Savage, says her dream was to be an actress.

In a recent interview with MTV, the Afrobeats star said she had always wanted to be in the film industry.

According to her, she delved into the music industry because of a man she had a crush on.

Tiwa Savage said her crush was always around musicians, so she ditched acting for music.

“I have always wanted to do acting. Acting was one of my first loves before music. I got into music because I had a crush on a guy and he was always around the musician so I said ‘yeah, forget acting and just go into music’,” she said.

Daily Trust reports that “Water and Garri,” a Nollywood blockbuster featuring Tiwa Savage in her first acting role, is set for premiere on May 10.

Meji Alabi, director of the film, made the announcement on his Instagram page.

“Always wanted to shoot a movie, so we did. D- excited to share that our new Film “Water & Garri” @WaterAndGarri Film is coming out on May 10th on @Primevideo,” he wrote.
