Popular singer and Nigeria’s queen of pop, Tiwa Savage has been in the eye of the storm for sometimes now over a leaked sex video with her boyfriend.
The singer had told American OAP, Angie Martinez of Power 105.1, in an interview that someone wanted to blackmail her by getting her sex video out on social media if she refused to pay some money.
She said the blackmailer had threatened to release the video by the midnight of October 7, 2021 if money was not paid, but that she was determined not to pay any money to a blackmailer.
However, Tiwa Savage further revealed how the video came into existence.
She said, “It is not from some working closely with me. What happened is that the person did it on snap and he posted it by accident but he quickly deleted it, however, someone got it before he could delete it. It is a very short video but it is me. It is going to be out there and I can just imagine the memes. I just found out yesterday. I could not sleep last night.”
True to the blackmailer’s threat, the sex video hit social media and went viral last Monday.
Several celebrities stood in defense of Savage but the shame cannot be wiped off in a hurry.
Why will Savage allowed herself to be videoed by a so-called boyfriend? What is the aim of such debilitating act? In the name of love? That is not love but foolishness and debasing of womanhood.
The video only showed Savage’s face and her private part and nothing of the ‘lover.’ Why was the video ‘mistakenly’ uploaded on Snapchat and deleted? Or why was it being recorded on snapchat? There is more to this than meet the eyes. Is Savage even telling the truth? What is the name or identity of the so-called boyfriend? There are many questions demanding answers being glossed over here.
As an Instagram user, @DrOlufunmilayo puts it, “Tiwa or not, that video was a huge error in judgment, on the part of that woman. Please hear me out: How are you recording a sex tape that’s only showing your face and private part as a woman – but not the man’s face? But you people will says it’s love.Any way I wish them well. And please don’t get me wrong: I’m NOT saying Tiwa (or the woman) recorded it herself. I’m surprised why will she allow a sex tape recording that only shows her face- instead of both their faces. That’s a lot of real extreme carelessness and reckless lack of caution on her part.”
The incident goes to show the promiscuous lifestyle of many Nigerian celebrities gambling with their nudity.
