Tiwa Savage on Surprise Hit Singles

Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage has opened up about her music career and two of her hit songs, Eminado and Dorobucci, which took the internet by storm and made waves all over the world. During an interview with Cool FM, the singer said she was really skeptical about recording the two songs, but surprisingly, it was her then-manager and producer Don Jazzy that coaxed her into releasing them, convincing her that they both had great potential.

"I hated Eminado the first time I listened to it," she said. Knowing very well that Eminado would be a very good song, Don Jazzy threatened her not to release the albums if Eminado was not on them, and that was what changed her mind. For Tiwa, the concept behind Eminado was not clear, but ultimately, Don Jazzy's trust in the appeal of the song won her over. 

Tiwa also added that she was the last to add her verse to the Dorbucci hit song because, once again, she was skeptical. "Nobody was going to like it, yet Dorobucci was to capture hearts across the continent and simply add itself to my long list of hits. 

 Thanks to Don Jazzy's persuasion, Eminado and Dorobucci stand as testaments to believing in a collaboration, even when that goes against personal taste.
