The 40-year-old singer made the disclosure while speaking to BBC on what to expect from her forthcoming album entitled ‘Celia’.
She said,
“I might just have to go butt naked in my next video because I don’t know what else I’m going to have to do to top that one!.”
“And, just to put it out there, this was done in Nigeria. All the cast is Nigerian, the director, the AP, everybody is Nigerian.
“I love the fact that I could present this to the label and say this was done in Africa by Africans, this is what we can do. Imagine when you invest in us even more, you would get amazing work.”
Speaking
about the forthcoming project, Tiwa said the album encapsulates a whole
mix of the emotions an African woman goes through.
“We’re
going through this pandemic, so the idea was I want to let them know
that I’m still a boss, that I’m still beautiful, that I’m still African.
“People
have been really really creative with it which is amazing. The album is
a whole mix of the emotions an African woman goes through: love,
aspiration, being bossy, being sexy, being vulnerable.
“All
of that is what I think the modern African woman is, and that’s what I
wanted to portray. It’s really touched my heart to see that people are
having a hard time during this. I mean we’re blessed to be at home, we
have light, we can pile up food for months if we want to.
“But
there are some people who can’t, people who only have money for today
or food for today. So this pandemic has really opened my heart to the
real situation of where the world is right now.”
