Singer and songwriter, Tiwa Savage has revealed that her success was delayed by God for a purpose so that she would be a blessing to others.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Receipts podcast, the ‘Water & Garri’ actress disclosed how she questioned not being successful in her twenties.
According to Tiwa, her late success could be an inspiration to a girl in her twenties who sees her page and realizes that the famous singer gained prominence in her thirties.
“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,’” Tiwa Savage said.
She also talked about how she is always age-shamed and how it has become a part of her life as a celebrity.
In her words: They try so hard to put those standards on me, they try so hard, they age-shame me. Every single day, they say, How can a woman of your age be wearing a bikini?
