Xenophobia: Tiwa Savage cancels her upcoming show in South Africa

The singer was the only Nigerian artiste billed to perform at the two-day concert which was dominated by South African musicians like Cassper Nyovestand Dj Kent Tiwa’s announcement did not go down well with some South Africans who challenged her on Twitter. They said she had no fans in their country.

To this, Tiwa said, “But yet I was booked to perform at the festival. This is a serious issue were NO ONE wins when blood is shed whether old videos or not. Issue needs to be resolved. We Africans (including South Africans) need each other.

I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK. For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September. My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this.
