Wizkid follows closely with 17.8M, and unlike Wiz, Savage does follow a bunch of accounts there. Her  ascent to that height on the list is evidence of her enormous influence and popularity both in music and fashion.

Savage’s success reflects the expanding popularity of Afrobeats. Savage is one of the genre’s prominent exports, especially now that the genre is blowing up on a global level. Her Instagram popularity, in many ways, demonstrates the genre’s global reach and appeal because you’ll want to keep up with your fave artists.

Lucky for her fans, Tiwa Savage is capable of doing it all. Whether it’s crafting seductive R&B melodies or incorporating Nigerian street slang into Afrobeats party bangers. Her versatility and ability to bring something unique to every single beat she hops on has elevated her to the ranks of Afrobeats’ most sought-after vocalists.
