Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has spoken out openly about the painful experience surrounding the leak of her intimate sex tape, vehemently denying accusations that she leaked it herself to gain sympathy or publicity. In a revealing interview with American radio station Hot 97, the award-winning singer described the ordeal as one of the darkest moments in her life and career.
Tiwa lamented how many people, including those with large platforms, unfairly blamed her for the leak and criticized her harshly. “I was bashed for that video… A lot of people think that I was just trying to get sympathy,” she said. She expressed disbelief that people failed to see her as a victim whose privacy was brutally violated and trust betrayed.
Reflecting on the backlash and slut-shaming she received, Tiwa Savage emphasized that if the tape had been intentional, different care would have been taken in its creation, including lighting and presentation. Instead, the leak was a traumatic violation with severe personal and professional consequences.
Tiwa revealed she endured the trauma while also coping with the loss of her father, describing that period as profoundly challenging. She credited her resilience to consciously deciding not to dwell on the incident and focusing instead on her music and healing.
Despite the controversy, Tiwa remains defiant, dismissing the judgments of critics and celebrating her continued success in the music industry. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy for victims of revenge porn and challenges the stigma survivors often face.
