In a recent and revealing interview on the popular Joe Budden Podcast, internationally acclaimed Afrobeat star Tiwa Savage opened up about a past relationship with a fellow Nigerian celebrity that she characterized as profoundly disrespectful. The singer detailed a dynamic where her former partner insisted on keeping their romance a complete secret from the public.
“I am a public figure and he is as well. He said he doesn’t want us to go public, I said cool is ok. And he said when we go out, I might be talking to other people but I’m just doing it so that people don’t suspect,“ she explained.

Savage explained that, despite both being highly visible public figures, she initially agreed to the terms of a private relationship. However, the situation quickly devolved as her partner’s behavior at public events became a source of significant emotional distress. He allegedly used the guise of their secret to openly flirt with other women directly in her presence.
The “All Over” songstress provided a vivid account of these uncomfortable encounters.
“We might be at the same event, and he will be talking, laughing, and even touching other ladies while still looking at me like, ‘Don’t worry, it’s nothing I am just doing it!’ It was happening right in front of me and I couldn’t say anything. It’s a disrespect,” she said.
She explained that despite a relationship being private, there must be limits and boundaries to actions with others, and in public.
