Nigerian artiste and Hip hop sensation Tiwa Savage, has made known her intention to pull out of DSTV festival scheduled to hold in South Africa this month.

She said “I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK.

“For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September”

She also offered her condolences to the families of those affected by the attacks

“My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this.
Killing any one that is African are my people whether they are Nigerians or not.”

She decried the prevalence of drug peddling. she, however, averred that killing one another was not the appropriate remedy in ending such anomaly.

” I’m not in support of drug dealing nor am I in support of killing.
The solution to fighting drug crime is not killing my dear brother.

“But yet I was booked to perform at the festival. This is a serious issue were NO ONE wins when blood is shed whether old videos or not. Issue needs to be resolved” she added
