Tiwa Savage’s movie, ‘Water and Garri’ has continued to receive negative criticisms in 2024.
Glamsquad recalls that the Afrobeat Queen released her movie on 10th May 2024 in more than 240 countries. Water & Garri,” is inspired by her 2021 Extended Play Album (EP).
Despite its commercial success, the movie has sparked a lot of opinions, particularly about its ending. In a new interview with BET, Tiwa Savage discussed the ending, the love scenes, and whether she plans to do future films.
Discussing what drew her to the “Water and Garri” script and sharing her thoughts on the divisive ending, Tiwa Savage said:
“I love the story. I love the story of coming back. I love the story of finding yourself again.
It’s not such a happy ending, but then, in life you don’t always have happy endings. So, I loved that. And then I loved that it had a love twist to it. All of those elements were just very beautiful to me.”
Tiwa Savage also discussed the spicy scenes, how she sometimes forgot she and her co-star were not dating, and how it was bizarre when her real-life boyfriend was on set.

“I have a love interest in this movie and sometimes, if we’re like on set, I’d have to remember “that is not your boyfriend Tiwa” [laughs]. You need to calm down. And then my real-life boyfriend at the time would come on set and I would be like “what is he doing here?” [laughs]. We’re not together anymore though, so he can hear this.
The first day on set I had was my kissing scene. I’m glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I need to represent. But, he was very lovely. All of the cast was. They were really really nice.”
When asked if she plans to do more films after “Water and Garri,” Tiwa Savage, who revealed that her debut movie was conceived while she was intoxicated, said:
“Listen, I’ve told everyone, film cheques are good. So, I’ve got like ten scripts in my head. I have other stories I’m working on.”
