According to Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage, there is a supernatural explanation for why her career breakthrough has taken so long.

The 44-year-old singer firmly stated her conviction that God purposefully postponed her popularity on a recent episode of The Receipts podcast.

She claims that God postponed her accomplishment in order to inspire younger, less successful women.

“I feel like God has done this on purpose,” she remarked. God has a reason for delaying my success. I used to wonder why I hadn’t achieved success in my twenties. In my twenties, I began to succeed.

“It’s to bless others.” It’s for the benefit of that 25-year-old girl who fears what lies ahead. If she visits my profile and discovers that I began in my thirties, she would be like, ‘I still have time.’”
