Tiwa Savage opens up about her divorce from TeeBillz
Tiwa Savage, the Nigerian singer, has opened up about her divorce from Tunji ‘TeeBillz‘ Balogun, her ex-husband.
The duo divorced in 2018 after efforts to resolve the differences in their marriage proved abortive.
In an interview with The Receipts Podcast, the ‘Kele Kele’ hitmaker revealed that her ex-husband was responsible for the divorce.
The award-winning songstress said at the time, she was struggling with postpartum depression after giving birth to their son.
The 44-year-old singer said she faced intense criticism from the public, with many attacking her without giving her a chance to share her side of the story.
She also recalled how some prominent figures advised her to remain silent about the incident to protect her reputation.
“When I came out, I was Nigeria’s sweetheart when I started and I could do no wrong in Nigerian’s eyes. I did everything by the book. I went to university and I wasn’t a baby mama. I got married then I had a baby so I did everything in the right order and everybody loved me and then everything happened,” she said.
“Then I started getting hate from blogs and I started getting hate from certain people. The way our situation happened, he announced it online. I didn’t break up with him but I was the one being attacked.
“At the time, my baby was just a few months old and I was dealing with postpartum and my body wasn’t the same and I was depressed. Everyone then went to him and only a few people came to see me.
“After I interviewed to tell my side of the story, it got worse. People were like ‘How dare you go and talk’ ‘You’re a woman and you’re supposed to build the house, it’s your fault’.
“I remember famous people calling me to ask how I could tell my side of the story cuz I’d never win. Ever since then, I was like I won’t ever talk about the situation because it was very heartbreaking how the public took it and blamed me.”
She added that the experience was an “eye-opener” that made her become “wild and carefree”.
“It was an eye-opener for me and it made me depressed for so long. It got me angry then I became the ‘African Bad Girl’,” she added.
“I thought to myself that after doing everything right I was still attacked. Then I started getting tattoos and wearing short skirts and bikini. I was just wild.”

I don’t trust my husband 100%, says Toyosi Etim-Effiong
Toyosi, the wife of Daniel Etim-Effiong, the Nollywood actor, has shared her thoughts on trust in their marriage.
During an episode of her podcast, the film star asked Toyosi if she trusted him 100% after seven years of marriage.
Toyosi’s response was straightforward “no” after which they both laughed.
She explained that while she doesn’t fully trust Daniel, she’s confident he will always keep her informed about his activities.
The YouTuber also emphasised the importance of communication in their relationship.
“Do I trust you 100 percent? No, but I trust that you will always keep me in the loop,” she said.
“Maybe not keep me in the loop. I have spent these years with you, I know you to a large extent and I am getting to know you better.
“I think that you will do your absolute best to honour your vows and honour what we have. But I am also aware that, I do not want to say anything can happen, but things happen more or less.
“And I feel like if anything ever happens, I would know.”
Daniel and Toyosi tied the knot in November 2017. They welcomed their first child – a girl — in January 2019.
In 2021, the lovebirds announced the birth of their son. In March, the couple celebrated the birth of their third child.
