Afropop singer, Tiwa Savage has said that celebrities have a wider reach than politicians and religious leader.
The ‘Koroba’ singer urged celebrities to use their platforms to impact others.
Savage made this statement in an interview with NME.
In her words “As celebrities we have a wider reach, sometimes, more than politicians and religious leaders because the youth would prefer to listen to a celebrity than another figure. They have more trust in their idols, therefore we’ve got to use our platform to be the voice of the voiceless
“The bigger you get, the more organizations want you for your platform to elevate what they’re doing. So as I got more involved in charity work… as a human you can’t not be touched by it. You hear certain stories or see how others live, and you appreciate what you have. That makes you know that you have to do more to help people”.
Speaking further, Tiwa noted that she puts pressure on herself to better.
“I put pressure on myself to do better than my last [album], but having that title… it’s sweet that there are fans who think that of me – although there’s not just one queen. There’s a load of kings and queens doing this.”
