Award-winning Nigerian music star, Tiwatope Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has opened up about her fallout with Davido and addressed long-standing rumours about her relationship with Wizkid.
Speaking in an interview with The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, Savage shed light on her December 2023 clash with Davido and clarified that speculation about a romance with Wizkid was misplaced.
She explained that the rift with Davido began after she posted an Instagram story featuring Sophia Momodu, the singerβs first baby mama, noting that their friendship grew naturally because their children attend the same school.
βOur kids have been friends since they were one, and theyβre 10 now. Iβve known David for years, but I also built a bond with Sophia. I didnβt know there were issues between them,β she said.
Savage recalled that at a social gathering, her greeting with Momodu was misinterpreted by Davido. βHe felt I was taking sides, which wasnβt true. Sheβs simply the mother of my sonβs friend,β she explained.
According to her, Davido misread the situation and later sent harsh messages, warning her to βbe careful in Lagos.β Feeling threatened, she filed a police petition, stressing it was a precautionary step.
βI reached out to his family first, hoping to resolve it privately. When I got no response and the threats continued, I acted to ensure safety. It wasnβt about revenge,β she said.
Despite the incident, Savage insisted there was no lasting animosity. βI havenβt spoken to him since, but I have love for him. Our kids come first, and thatβs what matters.β
On Wizkid, she dismissed speculation about a romantic past, saying: βI love and respect Wizkid, but itβs not about him.β She further clarified that a previous βembarrassingβ secret relationship she once referenced involved another public figure, not Wizkid.
