A panel of influential female Nigerian artists gathered at Eko Hotel on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, to share their experiences and insights on being women in the music industry. The discussion, themed “The Price of Being Her… Power and the Cost of Visibility in Music,” was moderated by Tiwa Savage and featured Yemi Alade, Sasha P, Qing Madi, Teni, and Waje.
During the panel, Yemi Alade emphasized the importance of authenticity and forging one’s own path in the industry. “It’s very important to be authentic,” she said. “It dawned on me that it was important for me to create my own doors. Where the doors were closed in my face, I broke down the walls. Where the walls were too strong, I created a window for myself.”
Alade also praised Tiwa Savage for her resilience and impact on female artists across Africa. “I honestly want you to know that those moments when you rugged it and do what you truly want to do, you are standing up for many females,” she said.
The panel discussion highlighted the challenges women face in the music industry and the importance of supporting one another. The event was a powerful celebration of female empowerment and music.
