In a revealing interview with Nigeria’s Beat FM, Tiwa Savage, the internationally acclaimed Afrobeat star, opened up about her personal evolution, her fearless approach to love, and her unstoppable ambition. Promoting her latest single Forgiveness, Tiwa gave listeners a glimpse of her deeply personal journey, showing a side that fans rarely see.
Discussing her approach to love, Tiwa shared one of her most daring acts. “I’ve shown up unannounced at a guy’s place before. When I’m into someone, I’m really all in,” she confessed. “People may think I’m savage, but I’ve done things for love that most wouldn’t expect.” Her candidness revealed a softer, more spontaneous side, contrasting the fierce persona that fans see on stage.
When it comes to her career, Tiwa’s passion and drive are unmistakable. “I don’t hold back. If something needs to be done, I’ll call you twenty times if I have to,” she said, laughing. “I’m relentless—that’s where my ‘savage’ side really comes out.” This unwavering dedication has not only propelled her to the top of the music charts but also cemented her reputation as one of Nigeria’s hardest-working artists.
Tiwa also spoke about her “phoenix era,” a time of renewal and resilience. “I have a phoenix tattoo on my neck because I feel like I’ve gone through the fire,” she said. “This is a rebirth, a phase of rising stronger from everything I’ve faced.” After overcoming both professional and personal challenges, she emphasized her newfound focus on setting boundaries and embracing the life she’s built. “I’m learning to be happy with where I am and what I’ve achieved. This is the new Tiwa Savage.”
Looking forward, Tiwa’s vision extends far beyond music. She has plans to venture into film, skincare, and philanthropy, while continuing to make her mark as a public figure. “I want to build something that goes beyond the stage,” she said, hinting at projects like a music school and expanded charity work. As a role model, Tiwa expressed her commitment to authenticity. “I’ve come to terms with my public image, but I have to stay true to myself. When I make mistakes, I own them, because that’s part of what it means to be a real role model.”
Tiwa’s openness about her journey—a blend of love, resilience, and ambitious goals—shows fans a refreshed and redefined artist, ready to soar even higher.
