Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has clarified her earlier comment about being open to becoming a second wife, saying it was made out of frustration rather than genuine intent.
In a recent interview, the 45-year-old superstar addressed the viral statement, explaining that it stemmed from emotional exhaustion following several heartbreaks and her past marriage experiences.
Reflecting on her previous relationship, Tiwa said:
“I was a first wife — where did that get me? I got married as the only wife, but here we are. I’m tired of being heartbroken; maybe I’m getting it wrong. Maybe I should try being a second wife.”
She, however, emphasized that the remark was not serious and did not reflect her real feelings.
“It’s not my choice, though. I don’t want to. I wish I could tell my truth, but I will be dragged. I don’t want to be — I’m looking for love. Let’s just leave it at that,” she added.
Tiwa Savage was previously married to music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TBillz. The couple tied the knot in 2013 and share a son together. Their marriage ended in 2018 after a highly publicized fallout, which included allegations of infidelity and emotional distress from both sides.
The singer’s latest remarks have sparked widespread reactions online, with fans expressing both empathy and admiration for her honesty about love, heartbreak, and self-worth.
