Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has once again proven why she’s a force in the industry, sparking massive conversations after boldly addressing the so-called “Big 3” ranking during her recent concert in London.
For years, music fans have regarded Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido as the “Big 3” of Afrobeats. But Tiwa isn’t here for it. In the middle of her electrifying performance, the singer paused and dropped a line that instantly got the internet talking: “F**k the Top 3.”

The moment drew loud cheers from the crowd, but it also ignited debates online. Many fans believe Tiwa Savage, often crowned the “Queen of Afrobeats”, has been unfairly sidelined in conversations dominated by male artists. Her statement wasn’t just raw energy — it was a reminder that women deserve a seat at the very top of Afrobeats.
Adding a softer touch to the night, Tiwa also brought out her son, Jamil, on stage for the very first time. The heartwarming moment melted fans’ hearts, especially since Tiwa had previously shared that she wouldn’t want her son to pursue a music career.
This blend of fiery confidence and maternal warmth sums up Tiwa’s artistry: bold, unapologetic, and deeply human. Whether you agree with her stance or not, one thing is clear — Tiwa Savage refuses to be boxed in or overlooked.
With Afrobeats continuing its global takeover, her words may just spark a bigger conversation about representation, recognition, and respect in the genre. And if there’s anyone who knows how to shake the table, it’s Tiwa Savage.
