Tiwa Savage, born Tiwatope Omolara Savage on February 5, 1980, is a renowned Nigerian singer, songwriter, and actress. Born in Isale Eko, Lagos, she spent her early years in Nigeria before relocating to London at the age of 11 to pursue her secondary education.
After completing her studies, Savage's passion for music led her back to Nigeria, where she joined Mavin Records in 2012. This marked the beginning of her successful music career. Her debut studio album, "Once Upon a Time," was released on July 3, 2013, to critical acclaim. The album earned her nominations for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards and Best R&B/Pop Album at The Headies 2014.
In her personal life, Tiwa Savage married Tunji "Tee Billz" Balogun in 2013. Their traditional marriage took place on November 23, 2013, at The Ark in Lekki, Lagos, followed by a white wedding on April 26, 2014, at the Armani Hotel in Dubai. The couple welcomed their son in 2015.
However, their marriage was short-lived. In April 2016, Tee Billz publicly accused Tiwa of infidelity and her mother of witchcraft. In a tell-all interview with This Day newspaper and Pulse Nigeria, Tiwa Savage addressed the allegations, debunking claims of infidelity and instead citing Tee Billz's financial recklessness, drug addiction, and abandonment as reasons for their marriage collapse.
Despite the challenges, Tiwa Savage continues to thrive in the music industry, blending afrobeats, R&B, pop, and hip-hop to create unique sounds. Her contributions to the Nigerian music industry have earned her numerous awards and accolades.
