In celebration of International Women’s Day 2023 recently, Tiwa was among the VIP guests at the reception held at Buckingham Palace, England.

It’s another call for the queen of afrobeats as she received invitation to perform at a celebratory show lasting three days at Windsor Castle marking the coronation of King Charles III, the British monarch. The momentous occasion is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London.

Tiwa Savage’s invitation to perform at the coronation is a remarkable achievement, as she becomes the first Nigerian musician to receive this honour.

“We are excited to announce that Tiwa Savage will be performing at the coronation concert alongside other world-class musicians.
