Award-winning Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has vowed never to share confidential information with her mum anymore.
According to her, when she was invited to perform at King Charles III’s coronation, she told her mum about it and asked her not to tell anyone but the mum told her brother in less than 20 minutes.
Tiwa Savage said she didn’t realize 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”.
