Nigerian ‘Afrobeats queen,’ Tiwa Savage, has shared her expectations regarding the caliber of man she is looking forward to settling down with.
According to her, the man expecting ther to accept his proposal should not be accompanied by the baby mama drama.
“I am still looking for someone’s son and I’d prefer someone that has a private plane and doesn’t have baby mama dramas,” she confidently said in a video sighted by The Independent Ghana on X.
Weeks ago, she opened up about her challenges before rising to fame in the music industry.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, Tiwa revealed that her sense of fashion received massive criticism, preventing her from performing at shows.
“I was really hurt. I would go to shows and wait backstage, and they wouldn’t call me because maybe the governor’s wife had said I couldn’t come up. Or they’d say.
"Make sure you don’t wear any of those skimpy dresses.’ I’m not making this up.”My fashion sense attracted criticism. Then, I ran back to L.A.,” Tiwa said.
The backlash, she said, forced her to relocate to United States of America, Los Angeles.
According to her, it took the intervention of her longtime manager, Bizzle, to get her back to Nigeria.
Despite her return, Tiwa said she faced rejection from all the top record labels back then.
“I’ve told the story where I went to all the labels and they all said no—Storm Records, Mo’Hits, Banky W’s EME, everyone,” she noted.
Tiwa added that Bizzle motivated, encouraged, or supported her at a crucial time.
“I remember Bizzle called me and told me that ladies were loving me, so I came back to Nigeria,” she stated.
Initially drawn to acting as her first love, Tiwa disclosed that it was a man in the music industry who caught her attention and influenced her career choice.
She shared that her crush's close association with musicians led her to abandon acting and pursue a career in music instead.
"I've always wanted to do acting. Acting was one of my first loves before music. I got into music because I had a crush on a guy, and he was always around musicians, so I said, 'yeah, forget acting and just go into music,'" Tiwa revealed.
Last year, she revealed a surprising view on relationships, saying cheating wouldn’t end things for her.
During an appearance on the Receipts Podcast on Spotify, the "African Bad Gyal" shared that every partner she has been with has cheated on her.
Despite this, Tiwa said she has forgiven them all and moved past the pain they caused.
“I’ve been cheated on before. I found out and forgave every time. Every man I’ve ever been with has cheated, and I’ve never left them because of it. I’ve left for other reasons, but not because they cheated. Cheating is not my hill,” Tiwa revealed.
The singer also argued that cheating has long been part of societal dynamics, stating, “I know you say it’s bad that we’ve gotten to a point where cheating isn’t a deal-breaker. But I feel like we’ve always been here—even back in the day, even going back to the Bible and history.”
Tiwa Savage explained that while she can overlook cheating, she won’t accept dishonesty, disrespect, abuse, or theft in a relationship.
She also spoke about her personal experiences, admitting she has never had an orgasm and hasn’t tried using sex toys, even though she’s open to exploring new things.
Her candid comments have sparked conversations online, with some applauding her honesty and others debating her views on love and loyalty.
She also shared a playful story of how she tried to make advances at American actor and activist Kendrick Sampson from of 'Insecure' fame.
During a candid interview on 'The Receipts Podcast,' the 'All Over' hitzmaker talked about trying to spark a romantic connection with actor Kendrick Sampson during the filming of her Forgiveness music video.
Initially unaware of his fame from Insecure, Tiwa became intrigued by Sampson's charm and good looks. She admitted to making some subtle advances, though they were unsuccessful in forming a romantic bond.
“When he came on set, my makeup and hair stylist was like, ‘That’s the guy from Insecure,’ and I was like, ‘Okay?’ And he was just lovely. Like, really, really sweet,” Tiwa recounted.
After watching Insecure following the video shoot, Tiwa found herself even more intrigued and decided to reach out to Kendrick while she was still in Los Angeles.
Despite her subtle efforts to express interest, Tiwa humorously admitted that her attempts didn’t land.
“I tried to paint and throw signs—but nothing. A little bit of me died,” she joked. “I want to unfollow him [laughs]. I’m angry [laughs].”
Tiwa concluded by praising Kendrick as “lovely” and “so cute,” despite her playful frustration over the unreciprocated signals.
