Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has revealed that she wouldn’t want her son, Jamal, to become a musician. Speaking during an interview, the singer shared her honest thoughts about the struggles artists face behind the scenes.

She explained that, although the music industry looks glamorous, it is full of pressure. Many artists are not earning as much as people assume. According to her, only a few are truly successful. Even those with hit songs often find it hard to stay relevant. Tiwa noted that having one or two hits does not guarantee long-term success.

She described the mental and financial stress that artists deal with. While fans expect celebrities to live lavish lifestyles, many are struggling to maintain that image. For this reason, Tiwa believes that music may not be the best path for her child.

Tiwa Savage also reflected on her time during the COVID-19 lockdown. She had set up a studio at home to keep working. But over time, she realized she was spending too much time in the studio and not enough with her son. It affected her ability to separate work from family life.

Looking back on her early career, she recalled how people pressured her to fit a specific image. Some even called her the “African Rihanna.” Despite doubts from some industry figures, she stayed committed to her unique sound.

Tiwa Savage’s message was clear. While she values her journey, she doesn’t want her son to face the same challenges. For her, music is rewarding but also demanding—and not the easiest path to take.
