Tiwa Savage Reveals Painful Past Romance With Celebrity

Nigerian singer and songwriter Tiwa Savage has opened up about a painful chapter in her personal life, revealing details of a past relationship with a fellow celebrity that ended on a sour note.

The award-winning star spoke on The Joe Budden Podcast, where she shared how the relationship started with excitement but soon turned into a struggle for her self-respect. According to Tiwa, the celebrity partner insisted that their romance should remain private. At first, she agreed, but as time went on, she realized the secrecy was hurting her emotionally.

Tiwa explained that while they were out together, her partner would flirt with other women right in front of her. Because of his request to keep the relationship hidden, she could not complain or confront him in public. The singer described this experience as one of the most disrespectful moments she had faced in her love life.

“It’s the disrespect. I am a public figure, and he is as well. He told me he didn’t want us to go public. He said, ‘When we’re out, I might be talking to other people, but I’m only doing it so people don’t suspect.’ I couldn’t say anything. It was happening right in front of me,” Tiwa revealed.

Although she chose not to mention the celebrity’s name, Tiwa admitted that the issues of secrecy, lack of openness, and constant disrespect eventually led to the breakup. She added that such experiences taught her valuable lessons about love, self-worth, and the importance of setting boundaries.

This is not the first time Tiwa has spoken openly about personal struggles. Recently, she shared her decision to consider egg freezing as a way of planning for the future, while also addressing why she turned down the title of “Queen of Afrobeats.” The singer continues to inspire fans by being honest about the challenges behind the glamour of fame.

Tiwa’s story shows that even celebrities, despite their success and influence, face the same struggles in relationships as everyday people. For her, music remains an outlet for healing and a way to connect with fans who may also be going through difficult personal battles.
