Singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage has urged popular American music icon, Beyonce to lend her voice to the ongoing #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.
Savage, in an Instagram live session, spoke about the state of the nation and the ongoing agitation for an end to police brutality. “Nigeria is bad,” she began in a thoughtful mood. Then she went on to talk about the virtues and flourishing spirit of Nigerians in spite of the bad state of the nation. She also called out privileged Nigerians who feel the protests does not concern them.
Tiwa Savage then appealed to Beyonce, who recently got praises across the world for portraying Africa in good light with her visual album, “Black Is King”.
“I was involved, recently, in a project that I was so proud of, like as an artiste I was so so proud to be called to be among the few people that was [sic] involved in this project. It’s called ‘Black Is King: The Gift album’
“But I want to use my platform right now to call Beyonce and the whole team that reached out to a lot of Nigerians; Nigerian artistes, Nigerian producers, Nigerian video directors, dancers, creatives.
“I’m calling on Beyonce and her team, the same way they used their platform… to elevate and to show the world that Black is King and how beautiful Afrobeat and Africa our culture is. I want them to please use their voice and their platform right because the same country that birth this genre (Afrobeat) is on fire right now.”
“So, I’m calling on Beyonce and her whole team and I’m telling you; you cannot ignore this,” Savage said.
