Singer Tiwa Savage has opened up about why she is not eager to sign aspiring artistes, noting the rigours that come with managing them.

In a recent interview with Forbes Africa, Tiwa disclosed that her focus is building an ecosystem where African artistes thrive independently.

According to the ‘African Bad Gyal’, taking care of up-and-coming artists could be overwhelming, something she is not cut out for.

“Everyone always asks me, ‘When will you sign an artiste?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artiste because artistes are stressful.

“I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up, and my artist is trending for something else,” she said.

“But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you,” Tiwa Savage said.
