Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage has revealed that her debut movie ‘Water & Garri’ was conceived while she was intoxicated.

She disclosed this at the pre-launch press conference held at the Livespot Entertainment Centre in Lagos, on Thursday.

“I said this before, this is an idea I had in my head when I was drunk in my room, and when I brought the idea to my amazing team, they didn’t make me feel stupid. They actually just said this is a brilliant idea,” Savage recounted.

‘Water & Garri’ premiered on Prime Video on May 10.

The movie follows the story of Aisha (Tiwa Savage), a young woman who has been estranged from home, returns to find her native home, vastly transformed from the one she left behind.
