Tiwa Savage:It’s chill! You guys … I mean look at the couch. I feel really relaxed.

I’m just inspired, like, wow, like, seeing an Afrobeats artist achieve a billion streams, and I’ll be like, “What? That was impossible.” Not even when I started, when I was just, like, a fan of, you know, like, the Afrobeats genre, so when I see, I’m, like, so inspired.Watch the full video above to see what Tiwa Savage has to say about working with Beyonce and more!
