‘I Wanted To Be the Next Tiwa Savage’ – BBN Uriel Recounts Her Failed Music Career

Uriel Oputa, a reality TV star, has revealed why she abandoned her music career and why she is known as ‘Uriel music star.’

Uriel wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that she had hoped to be the next Tiwa Savage when she moved to Nigeria, but things did not go as planned.

Uriel described an occasion in which she was invited to play at an event and was so terrified that she forgot to put on the microphone while singing.

Someone came to tell her to put on the microphone, but she forgot the lyrics and ended up singing ‘Amazing Grace.’

Uriel went on to say that following the encounter, she gave up music and promised to never be part of anything related to music again.

In her words: “Those asking why my name is Uriel music star is because I wanted to be the next Tiwa savage back then.
