“I am inspired by so many people. Musically, I am inspired by Brandy…I also listento Jazz… I am inspired by my peers,” she said.
“You know, Wiz, Burna, David. You know, everybody. I am inspired by so many people but I look up to God.”
New Telegraph recalls that Savage had once openly denounced the term “Big 3,” which is frequently used to characterize Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy as Nigeria’s top international music exporters.
She claimed in 2025 that the phrase ignores prominent female Afrobeats artists.
The singer noted that some artists make more money and have more means for promotion, which affects how frequently their music is heard.
She added that it was unjust to talk about a top three without bringing up Tems.
