Award-winning Nigerian singer and actress Tiwa Savage has made a candid revelation about her romantic history, stating she experienced only one truly fulfilling relationship in her life. The 45-year-old mother of one shared this deeply personal detail during a recent interview, sparking widespread reactions from fans and netizens.
The One Relationship That Stood Out
During a conversation with media personality Korty EO, Tiwa Savage initially claimed she had never had a positive romantic relationship. However, she later clarified that there was one exceptional bond she shared with a man she loved deeply. She described this relationship as "incredible," but tragically, it was cut short by the man's death. The singer did not explicitly name the individual but paid tribute to him, saying, "May his soul rest in peace."
This disclosure has reignited public speculation and conversations about her alleged past connection with the late Obama DMW, also known as 44, who was Davido's former road manager. Obama DMW passed away in 2021 after reportedly experiencing breathing difficulties and was confirmed dead at a hospital in Lagos.
A Pattern of Pain and People-Pleasing
Tiwa Savage painted a bleak picture of her other romantic endeavors. She explained that most of her past relationships ended badly, leaving her with more pain than joy. The singer admitted to often playing the role of a people-pleaser in these relationships, neglecting her own needs in the process. This pattern, she noted, consistently left her disappointed and contributed to her view that she has not been fortunate in matters of the heart.
"There is hardly any relationship I would look back at and see anything positive. They are all d*cks! Actually, there is one, but he passed away," the singer stated bluntly during the interview, highlighting the emotional toll of her past experiences.
Nigerians React to Tiwa Savage's Confession
The singer's revelation has triggered a flood of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians sharing mixed opinions on her love life narrative.
Some users expressed skepticism about her motives. One commenter, @Kadel99, suggested, "Tiwa Savage often comes across as someone who seeks sympathy even when there's no real crisis, and that's why many people struggle to take her complaints seriously."
Others questioned her judgment in choosing partners. User @ToheebKA reacted, "So you dated several men and they're all bad. Really? How come you only attract bad men? The only common factor amongst all those men is you, fix yourself."
Several netizens speculated that her positive review of the one relationship was influenced by the man's passing. @Pst_godwine opined, "Because he passed away, he was incredible. If he were to be alive, she would still count him among the terrible ones." Similarly, @SL_SIXTEEN wrote, "She said it out of pity cos he's passed away. Her first response was the right one."
Another user, @DJoeofficial001, offered a broader perspective, commenting, "Funny how some women spend years rejecting real love, chasing drama, then when they get older, suddenly they want sympathy for failed relationships."
Motherhood and Career Struggles
In a related revelation from a previous interview on the FlowWithKorty podcast, Tiwa Savage had opened up about how becoming a mother almost derailed her career. She explained that childbirth affected her both emotionally and professionally.
The singer admitted she initially struggled to bond with her son, Jamil, after learning she was expecting a boy instead of the girl she had hoped for. The physical changes in her body after giving birth, coupled with the loss of a major endorsement deal with Pepsi, deepened her personal and professional struggles during that period. However, she now describes her son as her best friend, indicating a significant positive shift in their relationship.
Tiwa Savage's latest interview continues to showcase her willingness to be vulnerable about her personal life, a trait that keeps her consistently in the public eye and fuels discussions about love, loss, and resilience in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
