Tiwa Savage has firsthand experience with her music becoming acknowledged on a global scale. Her songs have been featured in a number of notable films, in addition to her international performances.

“There is still so much to achieve even in Asia and all around the world,” she told YFM's Kojo Manuel on the Dryve of Your Lyfe broadcast. I believe that this is only the beginning for Africa; not only Afrobeats, but all African music around the world.”
