Tiwa Savage: The Queen Of Good Music
Tiwa Savage: Crowned The Queen Of Good Music
Honk Magazine Cover Story
If there’s one name that has become synonymous with good music in the Afrobeat scene, it’s Tiwa Savage. The Nigerian-born songstress has redefined the sound of Afrobeat and carried its vibrant rhythms from the motherland to the global stage. Her journey to becoming the undisputed Queen of Good Music is a tale of talent, resilience, and an unrelenting passion for her craft.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Tiwa Savage’s musical journey began far from the bustling streets of her hometown. At 11, she moved to London with her family, where she discovered her extraordinary voice. By 16, she made waves as a background singer, lending her vocals to iconic artists like George Michael, Kelly Clarkson, and Blu Cantrell. Despite her early success in music, Tiwa heeded her parents’ advice and earned a degree in accounting from the University of Kent. But music was her true calling, and it wasn’t long before she returned to it with a vengeance.
Tiwa’s return to Nigeria marked the beginning of a new era for Afrobeat. She began crafting songs seamlessly blending Western pop, R&B, and traditional African sounds, with lyrics that switched effortlessly between English, Yoruba, and Igbo. Her unique style caught the attention of Don Jazzy, the legendary Nigerian producer and founder of Mavin Records. Signing with Mavin in 2012 was a turning point in her career. Under Don Jazzy’s mentorship, Tiwa released her debut album, Once Upon a Time, in 2013, which solidified her place as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
But Tiwa Savage’s rise to the top wasn’t without its challenges. Balancing motherhood and music has been one of her most difficult feats. As a single mother, she has openly shared the struggles of juggling her career with raising her son, Jamil. Yet, she has managed to turn these challenges into inspiration, creating music that resonates with women across the globe. Her authenticity and vulnerability have endeared her to fans, making her not just a singer but a role model.
Tiwa’s collaborations with top African artists like Wizkid, Dr. Sid, and DJ Kaywise have further cemented her status as a trailblazer. But her influence extends far beyond the continent. In 2016, she made history as the first African artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, a testament to her global appeal and the undeniable quality of her music.
Today, Tiwa Savage stands tall as the Queen of Good Music, a title she has earned through hard work, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to her art. She has taken Afrobeat to new heights, proving that good music knows no boundaries. As she continues to break barriers and inspire millions, one thing is clear: Tiwa Savage’s reign is just beginning.
Long live the Queen!

Migos Reunion Album Could Arrive in January 2027 as Quavo Teases Group’s Return
Quavo suggests Migos may be gearing up for a big comeback as the group’s anniversary, hinting that the trio’s new album could be on the way by January 2027.
Quavo sat down with Baller Alert for a recent interview where he discussed Migos’ legacy, his relationship with Offset after their spat, and how Takeoff’s passing will be felt forever. The chat also gave a clearer sense of when fans can expect new music from Quavo and Offset as Migos.
The rapper has teased an upcoming Migos album in the past, and his latest comments suggest the project is nearing completion. He said he and Offset have been working together and teased that the album is almost ready to be turned in. With the Migos anniversary coming in January, he teased fans might hear something around that time.

The next project will also carry a heavy emotional weight following Takeoff’s death. Both Quavo and Offset have honored his legacy, making any potential Migos return a significant moment for the group and fans. Quavo also hinted that the album will not be another installment in the Culture series and teased a tour to coincide with the project.
Quavo has his own new album on the way before that potential reunion. QRÖMELIFE is set to drop on October 2, and Pharrell helped behind the boards on the project. The album already has a few singles attached to it, including “Backwards” featuring T.I., “Trance (Walk It Down),” and “HAAVIN.”
As of now, January 2027 remains a possibility rather than a confirmed release date. Still, with Quavo and Offset said to be working together and the anniversary of the Migos on the horizon, new music could offer fans a new chapter in the group’s story while keeping Takeoff’s legacy firmly established.

Yella Beezy’s Mo3 Murder Trial Gets New Court Date Before October Jury Selection
Next month, the jury selection process will get underway for the Yella Beezy murder-for-hire case. This is part of the legal proceedings surrounding the 2020 killing of Dallas rapper Mo3.
Beezy’s next hearing is set for October 6, 2026, in Dallas, Texas, according to the Dallas County Clerk and court documents reportedly obtained by Instagram user No Jumper. Judge Chika Anyiam is expected to preside ahead of jury selection later this month.
The latest court date follows Beezy and his defense team’s request for a delay. His trial was scheduled to begin Monday, September 14, but his attorneys asked for more time to obtain the written record from White’s trial. The defense also said a scheduling conflict involves an expert witness they plan to call. Prosecutors did not object to the request, and Judge Anyiam granted the delay.
White’s conviction could put some of the same evidence and arguments from his proceedings back in the spotlight at Beezy’s trial. But the allegation of Beezy orchestrating the killing presents a key issue unique to his case , the prosecutors’ efforts to prove payment. How the evidence is presented and challenged will be a key part of the proceedings.

Another co-defendant is involved in the case. Prosecutors say Brown was allegedly in the car with White when Mo3 died in the Dallas Interstate 35 ambush. Brown is also charged with capital murder in the case.
The next big date on the calendar for now is October 6, when Beezy and his legal team are due back in court. Jury selection is scheduled for October 26, another significant step in the long-running legal saga surrounding the death of Mo3.
