CurrentReport Blog Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage shared deep insights about her life, career, and personal experiences in a candid conversation on the latest episode of The Receipts Podcast, hosted by UK-based podcaster Tolani Soneye. Known for its honest and unfiltered discussions, the podcast provided a platform for Savage to address critical topics such as success, aging, relationships, and societal pressures.
Tiwa Savage on Success and Aging
Reflecting on her journey, Tiwa Savage highlighted the blessings of achieving success in her 30s, despite facing age-shaming and criticism. She emphasized that her story serves as an inspiration to young women, demonstrating that success is achievable at any stage in life.
“They try so hard to age-shame me. Every single day, they say, ‘A woman of your age still wearing a bikini.’ But I have the body. It’s the most celebrated when you look good in your older age,” Savage said.
She dismissed critics who suggest her son might view her negatively in the future, confidently stating:
“My son will be like, ‘My mum is a powerful and beautiful woman.’ I feel like God delayed my success for a purpose—to bless others. That girl in her 20s can look at my page and know she still has time.”
Relationship Experiences
Tiwa Savage also opened up about her past relationships, revealing that she has never left a partner solely because of infidelity. Instead, she prioritized her well-being and ended relationships due to issues such as emotional abuse, dishonesty, drug abuse, and other serious concerns.
“I have never left a man because he cheated on me. But for so many reasons like drug abuse, emotional abuse, being ghosted, and stealing,” she shared.
Savage candidly admitted she hasn’t experienced sexual satisfaction, saying, “I don’t think I have ever had an orgasm. I don’t even have sex toys, but I believe in monogamy.”
