Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has addressed the backlash surrounding her recent comment about marriage.
The award-winning singer had previously sparked controversy when she stated that she would not mind being a second wife.
Many fans and social media users reacted strongly, interpreting her words as an endorsement of polygamy.
In a recent interview, Tiwa sought to clarify her statement, reflecting candidly on her personal experiences with marriage.
The 45-year-old explained that her comment was not a genuine desire but rather a reaction to emotional fatigue following the challenges she faced in her previous relationship.
“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,” she stated, revealing the emotional exhaustion behind her earlier remark.
The singer emphasized that her intention was never to promote polygamy, clarifying that her statement stemmed from personal frustration rather than preference.
“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,” Tiwa added, urging fans to understand her perspective without misinterpreting her words.
Tiwa Savage’s clarification sheds light on the pressures and scrutiny faced by celebrities when speaking about personal matters.
Despite the controversy, she remains open about her pursuit of genuine love, showing her commitment to honesty and vulnerability even in the public eye.
Her candid reflections continue to resonate with fans who appreciate her authenticity both on and off the stage.
