Nigerian music icon Tiwa Savage has spoken out about the aftermath of her leaked private video, shedding light on its unexpected impact on her career.
In a candid statement, the singer revealed a mix of heartbreak and resilience in navigating the incident that initially left her shaken.
“I was really heartbroken the moment my video went viral, as I wondered how my son would feel when he grows up and finds it,” Tiwa shared.
Despite the emotional toll, the viral video opened unexpected opportunities for the singer.
Tiwa revealed she received calls from international stars, including Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, who offered support and encouragement.
“Beyoncé called me and was just laughing, even Kelly Rowland was like, ‘Hey babe, you are so hot,’” she said.
The controversy significantly boosted Tiwa’s visibility, with increased streams on her music as fans flocked to her platforms. “As an entertainer, I took advantage to show them more or less,” she admitted.
However, Tiwa maintained she took proactive steps to regain control of her narrative.
“I have invested a lot to remove videos from the internet, and my mind is at rest now,” she noted, adding that while the incident presented opportunities, she rejected some offers that didn’t align with her values.
The singer’s reflection highlights her ability to turn a personal crisis into a professional triumph while remaining focused on her personal and family well-being.
