On August 19, 2021, Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage announced the release of her album 'Water and Gari' on her Instagram page, sparking a debate among Kenyans.
With a simple yet effective post, Savage shared her excitement about the upcoming release, stating, 'Water and Gari Out on Friday. 20.8.21. Last slide is my mood right now. Pre-order link in my bio.'
While some Kenyan musicians and celebrities have resorted to clout-chasing to attract viewership, Savage's approach has been met with praise for its simplicity. Many have asked why artistes have opted for this trend instead of letting their talents do the marketing for them.
One fan remarked that some entertainers would rather fake 'killing their grandmothers or divorcing their wives' just to grab attention. However, some have warned that the stars will eventually end up losing when their tricks are discovered.
The much-anticipated album release is a day away and expected to be aired on Friday, 20th August. Savage's eager fans filled her comments section, saying that they were more than willing to listen to her EP (Extended Play).
