Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage recently shared her thoughts on the prospect of signing new artists, sparking curiosity among fans and industry insiders alike.

In an interview with journalist Tomisin Amokeoja, the Afrobeats icon revealed that she may never take on the role of signing another artist to a record label.

This revelation is surprising to many, considering her influence as one of Africa’s top musicians, known for chart-topping hits like “Somebody’s Son” and “Koroba.”

However, her decision reflects a thoughtful and self-aware approach to her career and her impact on the music industry.

Tiwa explained that her reluctance to sign new talent comes from a candid assessment of her abilities. “I don’t think I have the gift to sign artists,” she admitted.

While she has excelled as a performer and songwriter—having written for global stars like Monica and Fantasia—she believes that managing talent requires a unique skill set, one she feels she does not possess.
