“I No Get Shame!” – Tiwa Savage Spills it all on How She Begged Don Jazzy for a Second Chance, Found Love, and Built Her Mavin Family Before she was Africa’s ultimate Afrobeats queen, singing her heart out on Somebody’s Son, Tiwa Savage was just a bold dreamer with thick skin and zero shame—and she’s not afraid to admit it. In a tell-it-all, deeply emotional interview with Afrobeats Intelligence, Tiwa opened up about one of the most defining moments of her career—the day she humbled herself and knocked on Don Jazzy’s door again, this time, with a shameless but heartfelt plea. “When Don Jazzy started Mavin, I went to him and said, ‘Can you sign me now? Because you didn’t sign me in Mo’Hits before,’” she said, laughing. “I asked again. Wow. Oh my God. I don’t have shame.” But behind the laughter was something raw: a woman who knew her worth, who had once been overlooked in the Mo’Hits era, but refused to let rejection define her. Tiwa wasn’t just asking to be signed—she was fighting for her destiny. And guess what? Don Jazzy said YES. Just like that, the doors to Mavin Records swung wide open for her—and with them came not just hit songs, but something even more precious: a family. “Mavin was like home. If something trended online or I was going through stuff personally, I could just run into Jazzy’s room. Everyone—Dr Sid, Reekado Banks, Tega—they’d gather, no judgement. We’d cry, talk, laugh... That bond? I miss it,” Tiwa revealed, her voice soft with nostalgia. It wasn’t just about music. It was late-night heart-to-hearts, sibling fights, shared wins, inside jokes. And yes—love stories bloomed too. Fans whispered back then about sparks between some of the Mavin stars, and while Tiwa’s lips stay sealed, you could feel the warmth in how she talked about those days. Now with Empire, Tiwa’s journey has shifted. It’s less warmth, more business. And while she’s bossing up in a big way—touring, deals, international features—there’s a part of her that still longs for the tight-knit magic Mavin once gave her. “You have to know who you’re signing to. That experience shaped me—not just musically, but as a businesswoman too,” she said, eyes firm. From begging for a shot to becoming one of Africa’s biggest stars, Tiwa Savage’s story is proof that sometimes, the boldest thing a woman can do is ask for what she deserves—without shame, without apology, and with all the love in her heart. 💔✨👑 #tiwasavagefans #donjazzyofficial #TiwaSavage #mavinrecords #AfrobeatsMusic #naijatrends #trendingpost #naijamusicindustry
