Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has said that there are men in the
Nigerian music industry who ask for sex from female artistes before
giving them any form of assistance.
The mother of one says she
had such experience in the early days of her career, explaining how she
overcame it. She added that most female artistes go through series of
sexual harassment from their male counterparts.
Speaking at the
Youth Enterprise Conference 2016, which recently held at the Eko Hotel
& Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the singer recounted her
experience.
She said, “Ladies face a lot in the industry. These men cannot but ask for sex from us.
“A
lot of times they said that they wanted to help me but actually they
wanted me to do ‘something’ with them. Luckily I had a crazy boyfriend
who ended up being my husband. He just shot them down.
“If you are
really talented and good at what you do and you have God behind you,
don’t give in to that kind of temptation. I guarantee you that your
talent will make a way for you.
“The same people will be the ones calling and you will even get more than you ever imagined if you don’t give in,” she added.
