stand out. In this report, Bebeakinboade.com presents to you the 2 top-earning
female artistes in Nigeria. Omawumi and Tiwa Savage have been able to prove
that what a man can do, a woman can do even better. They have continued to
remain relevant in the industry with their outstanding performances;which has
also made them to be the darlings of most A-list events. Without them, the
entertainment segment is not complete.
OMAWUMI MEGBELE

report,singer Omawumi Megbele is now adjudged the highest paid female artiste
in Nigeria. Omawumi’s performance fee has risen from N3

She performed at
the   just concluded Vanguard Newspaper

personally requested Omawumi to perform. Not only that, Finance Minister, Ngozi

Economic Forum held in Switzerland, where she, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr. Tony
Elumelu, Mrs. Fidelia Njeze (Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein), and
other delegates rocked!
Omawumi was also
the only female music star, aside Ara, the drummer, that performed at the
Nigeria Centenary Celebration grand finale held on February, 2014 at The Abuja
National Stadium, Abuja.
Currently, Omawumi
is the only female music star with the highest number of endorsements, followed
closely by the vivacious Tiwa Savage.

TIWA SAVAGE
When Tiwa Savage
stepped onto Nigeria’s musical scene in 2010, she didn’t know what to expect.
Moreover, she received a lot of ridicule and hostility from people who believed
she wouldn’t make it.
Tiwa Savage
She was told
that  people who came before her were not
really welcomed home, and that it is even worse for a female singer. Tiwa
Savage didn’t allow people’s negative connotation of her discourage her from
doing music. She released her debut single “Kele Kele Love”. The song
made its way to the top of several Nigerian music charts. Savage’s sultry
tones, pulsating dance moves, and electric stage presence immensely propelled
her to the top of the Nigerian music industry.
In July 2013,
Savage signed an endorsement deal with MTN Nigeria, allegedly worth N30
million. She also signed endorsement deals with Pepsi, Forte Oil, and Maggi.
Tiwa Savage charges
N2.5million and above to grace any event in the country.
