Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has addressed the viral reactions trailing her earlier comments about being open to becoming a second wife.

In a recent interview, the 45-year-old music star clarified that her statement was made out of frustration and emotional exhaustion, not a genuine desire to marry someone already in a relationship.

Reflecting on her past experiences, Tiwa said her earlier comment stemmed from heartbreak and disappointment in love.

“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. 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 said

The singer, however, made it clear that she does not truly want to be a second wife, emphasizing that what she really desires is genuine love and peace of mind.

Tiwa Savage was previously married to music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TeeBillz.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 and share a son together. Their marriage ended in 2018 after public allegations of infidelity and emotional challenges from both sides.
