Award-winning Afrobeats singer and global icon, Tiwa Savage, is calling on the public to show more love and compassion—especially in the digital space.
In a heartfelt interview with Dose of Society, the Nigerian superstar emphasized the need to protect mental well-being and reject the unrealistic pressures that come with social media.
Known for her powerful vocals and groundbreaking influence in Afrobeats, Tiwa Savage—who made history as the first African female artist to sign with Roc Nation—has long used her platform to uplift and inspire. Now, she’s turning attention to the emotional toll of online culture.
“My message to the world is that we need to show a bit more love,” Tiwa said. “Especially when we look at social media, I just see things that are make-believe. We all know it’s not real, but we’re still putting pressure on ourselves, when all we really need is to love a little bit more.”
Tiwa, who rose from backing vocals for international artists like George Michael to becoming a leading figure in African music, urged fans to prioritize self-discovery and authenticity over curated perfection. She warned that social media can distort reality and create toxic comparisons that damage self-esteem.
In a time when digital validation often trumps real-world connection, Tiwa Savage’s call for empathy and truth is a timely reminder that love—both for ourselves and others—is more powerful than any algorithm.
