Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage has reignited a conversation in the Afrobeats industry by questioning the traditional “Big 3” narrative that exclusively recognises Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

According to Savage’s recent interview, she said it’s unfair to omit Tems from such discussions, given her impressive achievements, including a Grammy Award and a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Tems has collaborated with major international artists and has been a driving force in Afrobeats’ global popularity

“I also feel like it’s unfair to have that conversation about the Big 3 and not mention someone like Tems,” Tiwa said, calmly making her point while seated in a black leather jacket during the chat.
