Tiwa Savage, a celebrated Nigerian musician, has sworn she will never again give her mother access to private information.
She claimed that after informing her mother that she had received an invitation to perform at King Charles III’s coronation, she urged her to keep it a secret, but her mother quickly informed her brother.
The crooner of “All Over” revealed this in an MTV UK interview.
Tiwa Savage said she didn’t realise initially how big a deal it was to perform at the King’s coronation.
She said, “When I got the call about performing at the King’s coronation, I didn’t tell a lot of people at first. But eventually, I told my mum and as always I was like, Mum, please don’t tell anyone. Then literally 20 minutes later, my brother is calling me, he was like, ‘Oh my gush!’ And I’m like, mum, wow! So, I’m not telling my mum anything again.
“Initially, I didn’t realize how big a deal it [performing at the King’s coronation] was. And I also didn’t know who else was going to be performing either. So, I didn’t know I was going to be the only one representing the Commonwealth. So, when I started getting that information, I was like, ‘Wow! No pressure.’ It was great though.
“Like I said, to represent the Commonwealth, and just looking back at the performance. It was iconic. It was such a great experience for me.”
Tiwa Savage became the first Nigerian artiste to perform at a British royal event after thrilling guests at King Charles III’s coronation concert and Big Lunch in March.
