Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage is undoubtedly till today arguably the biggest female Afrobeats star to come out of the nation. Tiwa Savage has been dominating the Nigerian music scene for years now amassing so many hits including "Eminado", "Koroba", "Stamina", and more.

Now, the singer is breaking new ground as she becomes the first female Afrobeats artiste to headline Wembley Arena. The concert will be happening on November 26th at the famous arena that holds 13,000 people. During a new appearance on the Good Morning Britain show, Tiwa Savage looked back at her time on X Factor and opened up about why performing on this specific stage is going to be a full circle moment for her. She also opened up about how it was performing for the king at his coronation event. Here is what Tiwa Savage had to say.

During the interview, Tiwa Savage was asked "When you came on for the Coronation performance, there was an absolute silence. It was hypnotic. It was an absolutely spectacular performance. How did it feel to perform for the king?" She responded saying:

TIWA SAVAGE: Wow! It was beautiful. Such an amazing moment to represent the commonwealth and just to be on that stage and I was nervous for I would say the first few seconds but as soon as I started singing, I was like yeah, I have to kill it. I just had to.

She was then asked "Afrobeats is getting millions of streams including your good self as well. Lots of exciting stuff coming up as well, you've got a concert that's happening in November" to which she said:

TIWA SAVAGE: Yes! November 26th at Wembley. And the funny thing is it's actually full circle because I lived and I grew up in Wembley with my family. I got kicked off of X Factor in Wembley in 2006. But guess what? I'm coming back now to shut it down in Wembley Arena. So the moral of that story is when they tell you know, you come back and tell them - or show them - why they should have told you yes. You just have to keep coming back.
