The 43-year-old made this known in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
“This is about to be an ICONIC moment. My first acting and co-directing debut with the goat @mejialabi.
“Water And Garri the Film Coming soon,” Tiwa wrote.
Produced by Unbound Studios and its subsidiary JM Films, Water and Garri was shot in Cape Coast, Ghana.
