Nigerian Afrobeats star and songwriter, Tiwa Savage has explained why it took her a while to make breakthrough in her music career.
According to the 44-year-old mother of one, there was a divine reason for the delay in her career.
She made this known in a recent episode of The Receipts podcast, where she strongly expressed her belief that God delayed her success for a purpose.
In her words, she became successful in her thirties despite desiring to hit the limelight in her twenties.
She went on to say God delayed her musical success to encourage other women who are afraid to improve their lives at a more advanced age.
Speaking during the interview, Tiwa Savage said, “I feel like God has done this on purpose. God delayed my success for a purpose. I used to be like, why wasn’t I successful in my twenties? I started succeeding in my thirties.
“It’s to bless other people. It’s to bless that 25-year-old girl who’s scared about what the future holds. If she opens my page and sees that I started in my thirties, she would be like, ‘I still have time.’”
