An old video of sensational Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, auditioning for a British music talent show has surfaced on social media.
Tiwa Savage, who is now 43 years old, is undoubtedly one of the most talented singers in the Nigerian music scene, but her rise to the top has not been without setbacks and rejections.
The old video captured the moment Tiwa auditioned to be part of the X Factor talent show in the UK but was rejected by the judges.
In the video, before entering the room for her performance, Tiwa Savage said her goal was to create an impression on the judges and move on to the next round.
Unfortunately, the sensational Nigerian singer did not receive a positive response from the judges and did not make it to the next stage.
Today, the mother of one (Tiwa Savage) is a name to be reckoned with in the music industry, both National and International.
In response to the clip, social media users stressed the importance of persevering and never giving up. See some comments as you scroll.
