Singer Shares Emotional Story About Public Perception and Personal Struggles
Nigerian music sensation Tiwa Savage has shed light on her highly publicized divorce from ex-husband Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TeeBillz. Speaking on The Receipts Podcast, Tiwa addressed long-standing misconceptions, revealing she did not initiate the separation but was blindsided by TeeBillz’s public announcement in 2018.
The Announcement That Changed Everything
Tiwa shared that at the time of the announcement, she was dealing with postpartum depression following the birth of their son. “He announced it online. I did not break up with him, but I was the one being attacked,” she explained.
Recalling the challenging period, she described how public opinion turned against her. “My baby was just a few months old, and my body wasn’t the same. I was dealing with postpartum and depression. Only a few people came to check on me; everyone supported him.”
Public Backlash and Emotional Impact
Tiwa also recounted the intense criticism she faced after giving an interview to tell her side of the story. She revealed that societal expectations amplified the blame placed on her. “People said, ‘How dare you talk? You’re a woman; you’re supposed to build the house.’ It was heartbreaking,” she said.
The experience left her feeling depressed and angry for a long time, shaping her approach to public life and her music persona. “It was an eye-opener. I became the ‘African Bad Girl.’ I started getting tattoos, wearing bikinis, and short skirts,” she added.
Tiwa’s candid reflection offers a rare glimpse into the personal struggles behind her public persona. While she faced immense pressure and criticism, the experience helped her grow stronger and more self-assured.
The revelations serve as a reminder of the complexities of public relationships and the need for empathy and understanding when discussing personal matters.
