Mavin's First Lady don cause wahala! Hmmmm... some say she's Nigeria's Beyonce, do you agree? Some even say she's Nigerias Beyonce and Rihanna rolled into one. The internet has been buzzing since the release of this video. It was directed by Moe Musa and it shows Tiwa in a brown skin hugging cat suit giving sultry moves. While she's getting backlash for being too "sezzually" explicit *cough cough, others are commending her effort as a daring lady.
Here are some of the comments on YouTube:
"This video is advanced bullshit, first class crap, arrant rubbish and visual assault on my moral sense. It justifies defiance of the Nigerian Image of descent career focused married womanhood. I am disappointed. This na kelekele embarrassment."
"This video is beautiful and what I've been waiting for from you thanks for coming back to why I loved you!!women need to stop repressing their sexuality!"
"This video is really disappointing for a wife who is an African first of all, our traditions and morals forbid this nonsense and come to speak of it Tiwa, are you doing this for the American audience or for the AFRICAN ? because if the former is it, then you better know where your bread is buttered or you eat an empty plate.For your information American audience don't see our music videos.So set your priority right! Because if you had started with this kind of rubbish your career wouldn't have seen the limelight."
"Well done tiwa. Been waiting for a female Naija artist to charge up on some Rihanna shit"
What do you think? Is it too racy?
The problem is not the raciness, the problem is that it looks like she is trying too hard to be sexy and it is no longer appealing.
ReplyDeleteexactly! Her kele kele love video was even sexier

I've seen the video. Personally don't have anything against it. Don't see anything wrong too. We are embracing western cultures and the blame 1 person for a video? Let's check ourselves 1st. We celebrate Halloween and all.. It's not African but we do it.. That video was influenced by the western culture we are emulating.
ReplyDeletePlease speak for yourself, I certainly do not celebrate "Halloween and all"....
Deleteneither do i. DiDi just speak for yourself and stop using "we"
DeleteI feel somewhat embarrassed for her, its insulting to the brand she represents.

Not appealing at all... Trying too hard! Old woman... The body suit is very tacky, doesn't fit her well and shows the fact that her shape is not as fantastic as I thought, yuck! She looks dirty and cheap... She should be herself! Beyonce and Rihanna dont over do it like she did in this video and it works well for them! Less is best! Haba! She just got married now and still in honeymoon phase why is she acting like an old sex starved woman?! ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!
ReplyDeletetrue sha. the stomach area especially
DeleteI dont see anything wrong with the video actually, but that outfit was absolutely hideous..it was like miley cyrus kind of sexy..if she wanted to go sexy and raunchy, she should look to beyonce and even Rihanna for inspiration...The outfit just looked really cheap and didnt flatter her shape at all. She seemed pretty desperate for attention.
ReplyDeletelool. No comment on this... I just cant

Hmmmn, I see Tiwa going the Whitney Houston way. Since she married Tbillz, its one crap after the other. The guy is only interested in his cut as a manager. Lemme take several seats and see where she will be in the next 5 years
ReplyDeleteGbam!
DeleteUrrrrmmmmmm no comments
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Tiwa because of efforts like this,I liked her because she was different and even little children could watch her videos.If she continues like this,she might end up losing her fan base.One reason I still like and respect Asa,she doesn't feel the need to expose to be heard.
ReplyDeleteI.tink tiwa savage was very daring and bold in dis video nd Iave no problem with that.my only issue with the song is that Idnt understand the theme or find it interesting
ReplyDeleteNo comments. And people wonder why i mainly listen to osadebe and co.

This is awful, Tiwa Why?
ReplyDeleteTiwa nice video but you don't need all that exposure to be heard
ReplyDeleteWe should just open our minds and stop hiding behind the phrase 'we are African women'. There's nothing wrong with the video
ReplyDeleteU know. If the best part of this whole video were just to be selected and used as a scene for a more conservative video of this song it'l hve been better. She was trying tooooooo hard to be sexy. It's like when I'm trying to re-create one of bovi or basket mouth's joke to some1 and the person just smiles instead of a huge laugh I expect. U can't be some1 else because that some1 else is being themselves so that slot is occupied. Just be urself tiwa. Ur fans love u for who u'v bn. You don't have to try nd be some1 else.
ReplyDeleteThis video is a hodgepodge of racy and confusing, I am disinterested though, I am just perplexed that she's acting all defensive on IG & posting tweets of fellow celebs applauding her! If it suits her morals and ber husband loves it so be it! She actually promised SEXY guess shes only vindicating herself.
ReplyDeleteAnd then the lyrics though enough said.
ReplyDeletei have nothing to say other than she is nothing like Beyonce.

All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to sit and do nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe video disturbs my conscience. I dunno how she was able to do that. Good luck to her. I hope she doesn't follow the path of Whitney Houston and co.
No word!
ReplyDeleteI think she was pretending all along, now she's showing her real self. God help her.
