<h4>My 2021 Leaked Sex Video And Romance Without Husband</h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tiwatope Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that her 2021 leaked sex tape was circulated as part of a bet, describing the experience as one of the most painful moments of her life.</p>
<p>The Afrobeats star also disclosed that she has remained celibate for the past three years.</p>
<p>The revelation was made during an interview with <strong>The Breakfast Club</strong>, released on Tuesday, where she spoke candidly about how the scandal affected her personal life, career, and mental health.</p>
<p>Savage said she initially coped with humour and by channelling the pain into her songs, but admitted the episode cut deeper.</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;When I talked about the sex tape … that’s how I was able to kind of like, try and get through it. But in hindsight, did I really deal with it? I don’t think so. I was hurt… I was a victim,”</strong></em> she said.</p>
<p>She revealed that while her boyfriend at the time claimed the tape was leaked accidentally, she later learned it had been circulated as part of a bet.</p>
<p>“<em><strong>He said he was trying to save it, and then he pressed send by accident… I later on found out that it was a bet with his friends,”</strong></em> she said.</p>
<p>The singer added that many assumed she staged the leak for attention.</p>
<p>“<em><strong>They thought I did it for PR. A lot of people thought, ‘oh, she’s not relevant anymore, and she’s doing this.’ </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;And I’m like, guys, trust me, if I wanted to do that, I would have had better lighting,”</strong></em> she said.</p>
<p>Attempts to pursue the case also failed because of the emotional toll.</p>
<p>“<em><strong>We tried, actually. But yeah, we couldn’t. And me trying was just, it was just too traumatic for me to keep talking about it. I just wanted to move on from it,”</strong></em> she explained.</p>
<p>Savage said the backlash from the public, including attacks on her role as a mother, was harder to bear than the tape itself.</p>
<p>“They brought my son into it and said I was unfit… my son’s gonna grow up and see this and he’s gonna be disappointed in his mom. That hurt me more than the actual thing,” she said.</p>
<p>She noted the experience has influenced her music, with some songs still too painful to perform.</p>
<p>“There were a lot of times I was crying, especially the first record. That took me like four attempts to record. Even now when I listen to the album, I skip that. I haven’t been able to perform it. It was tough,” she said.</p>
<p>Despite the trauma, she credited her family for their support.</p>
<p>“My mom called me and said, ‘don’t listen to them… I’m just happy that you’re enjoying yourself.’ Hearing my mom say that helped,” Savage added.</p>
<p>The singer also revealed she has been turning to therapy and has shifted how she views love and intimacy.</p>
<p>“For therapy, yeah, a lot of people say to me you’re wasting your money. I’m like, what? I love my son, I love my team, my friends. I’ve been married before, I’m 45, I’m good,” she said.</p>
<p>On her personal life, Savage admitted she has gone years without intimacy and doesn’t chase it outside of meaningful connections.</p>
<p>“I <em><strong>don’t know if I don’t come attached. I’ve gone like maybe three years without. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;I have to be with someone for me to even think about it. I don’t have toys… maybe that’s what people should get me for Christmas,”</strong></em> she joked.</p>
<p>Born February 5,1980 in Isale Eko, Lagos, Tiwa Savage relocated to London at the age of 11 for her secondary education.</p>
<p>Five years later, she began her music career doing backup vocals for artists such as George Michael and Mary J. Blige.</p>
<p>After participating in the UK edition of The X Factor and graduating from Berklee College of Music, Savage signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2009.</p>
<p>Inspired by the growth of the Nigerian music industry, Savage moved back to Nigeria and signed with Mavin Records in 2012.</p>
<p>She made an appearance on the label&#8217;s 2012 compilation album Solar Plexus.</p>

<p>The album was nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards and for Best R&;B/Pop Album at The Headies 2014.</p>
<p>On 19 December 2015, Savage released her second studio album R.E.D, which yielded the singles &#8220;My Darlin&#8221; and &#8220;Standing Ovation&#8221;.</p>
<p>The tracks &#8220;All Over&#8221; and &#8220;Ma Lo&#8221; served as singles from Savage&#8217;s six-track debut extended play (EP), Sugarcane, which was released in September 2017.</p>
<p>R.E.D and Sugarcane have both been nominated for Best Album at the Nigeria Entertainment Awards.</p>
<p>In November 2018, Savage won Best African Act at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards, becoming the first woman to win the category.</p>
<p>In May 2019, she announced her record deal with Universal Music Group and exit from Mavin Records.</p>
<p>Savage&#8217;s third studio album, Celia, yielded the singles &#8220;Attention&#8221;, &#8220;Dangerous Love&#8221;, &#8220;Koroba&#8221;, and &#8220;Temptation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Her second extended play, Water &; Garri, blends Afrobeat with soulful R&;B. In March 2022, Savage announced the Water &; Garri North American Tour in support of the EP.</p>
