Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tiwatope Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that her 2021 leaked sex tape was circulated as part of a bet, describing the experience as one of the most painful moments of her life. The Afrobeats star also disclosed that she has remained celibate for the past three years.

The revelation was made during an interview with The Breakfast Club, released on Tuesday, where she spoke candidly about how the scandal affected her personal life, career, and mental health.

“Savage said she initially coped with humour and by channelling the pain into her songs, but admitted the episode cut deeper.

“When I talked about the sex tape … that’s how I was able to kind of like, try and get through it. But in hindsight, did I really deal with it? I don’t think so. I was hurt… I was a victim,” she said.

She revealed that while her boyfriend at the time claimed the tape was leaked accidentally, she later learned it had been circulated as part of a bet.

“He said he was trying to save it, and then he pressed send by accident… I later on found out that it was a bet with his friends,” she said.

The singer added that many assumed she staged the leak for attention.

“They thought I did it for PR. A lot of people thought, ‘oh, she’s not relevant anymore, and she’s doing this.’ And I’m like, guys, trust me, if I wanted to do that, I would have had better lighting,” she said.

Attempts to pursue the case also failed because of the emotional toll.

“We tried, actually. But yeah, we couldn’t. And me trying was just, it was just too traumatic for me to keep talking about it. I just wanted to move on from it,” she explained.

Savage said the backlash from the public, including attacks on her role as a mother, was harder to bear than the tape itself.

“They brought my son into it and said I was unfit… my son’s gonna grow up and see this and he’s gonna be disappointed in his mom. That hurt me more than the actual thing,” she said.

She noted the experience has influenced her music, with some songs still too painful to perform.

“There were a lot of times I was crying, especially the first record. That took me like four attempts to record. Even now when I listen to the album, I skip that. I haven’t been able to perform it. It was tough,” she said.

Despite the trauma, she credited her family for their support.

“My mom called me and said, ‘don’t listen to them… I’m just happy that you’re enjoying yourself.’ Hearing my mom say that helped,” Savage added.

The singer also revealed she has been turning to therapy and has shifted how she views love and intimacy.

“For therapy, yeah, a lot of people say to me you’re wasting your money. I’m like, what? I love my son, I love my team, my friends. I’ve been married before, I’m 45, I’m good,” she said.

On her personal life, Savage admitted she has gone years without intimacy and doesn’t chase it outside of meaningful connections.

“I don’t know if I don’t come attached. I’ve gone like maybe three years without. I have to be with someone for me to even think about it. I don’t have toys… maybe that’s what people should get me for Christmas,” she joked.

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has dragged his father, calling him “Baba Oko Bournvita”, accused him of bad parenting, extortion, and taking advantage of his success.

In the Instagram video posted on January 6, 2026, Portable alleged that his father had been taking his belongings, attempting to control his properties, and reaching out to his baby mamas to demand money without his consent. He said his father failed him while growing up and has continued to frustrate him despite his career success.

He said, “Even my dad is only concerned with getting money from me. There is no time I would be in the police station that you will ever come to my aid as your son.

“But you can collect the phone numbers of your son’s baby mamas and collect money from them. You will be sniffing around my family. You are with me, yet my life is scattered. When you are not with me, my life goes on.”

Portable said he built his career and wealth on his own and accused his father of cheating him while handling his building projects, including inflating construction costs.

He added, “My life is good without you. I am a hero. You did not take care of me. You did not send me to school. You are just like baba Mohbad; you are always wearing my shoes and clothes. You can never inherit me. I will not allow you to do to me what they did to Mohbad. My father is ready to take my properties, including my cars and my clothes.

“When I wanted to build a house, I told him to handle it. He was always cheating me. A block of N300,000, he will call it N900,000. You stand on my toes because of my properties. When my mother died, my father said he was not concerned. My father was cheating me on the purchase of bricks. You were in Abuja doing your thing.

“My father sent me away from Abuja, and I came to learn tailoring in Lagos.”

Portable ended the video by telling his father to stay away from his life, saying he would no longer tolerate what he described as exploitation and interference.
