Tiwa Savage Clarifies Viral ‘Second Wife’ Comment, Says It Came From Frustration, Not Desire

Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has addressed the viral reports surrounding her remark about being open to becoming a second wife.

In a recent interview, the 45-year-old music star explained that the statement was not born out of genuine interest but from emotional exhaustion and frustration following her past heartbreaks.

Reflecting on her previous marriage to music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TBillz, Tiwa said she had reached a point where she felt emotionally drained.

“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,” she said, expressing her frustration.

Tiwa, however, clarified that her statement was not her true desire, emphasizing that she still believes in love.

“It’s not my choice, though. I don’t want to. 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,” she added.

Tiwa Savage and TBillz tied the knot in 2013 and share a son together. Their marriage ended in 2018 after public allegations of infidelity and emotional turmoil from both sides.
