Nigerian Singer Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has revealed that her debut movie ‘Water & Garri’ was conceived while she was intoxicated.

She disclosed this at the pre-launch press conference held at the Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos, on Thursday.

“I said this before, this is an idea I had in my head when I was drunk in my room, and when I brought the idea to my amazing team, they didn’t make me feel stupid. They actually just said this is a brilliant idea,” Savage recounted. ‘Water & Garri’ premiered on Prime Video on May 10.

The movie has received several backlash and criticism from fans and followers who urged the music diva to do better.

The movie follows the story of Aisha (Tiwa Savage), a young woman who has been estranged from home, and returns to find her native home, vastly transformed from the one she left behind.

It also stars Andrew Bunting (as Kay), Mike Afolarin (as Mide), and Jemima Osunde (as Stephany).

The movie was filmed in Cape Coast, Ghana, and directed by Meji Alabi.
