‘I Don’t Mind Being a Second Wife’ — Tiwa Savage Opens Up On Marriage

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she would not mind becoming a second wife, saying most of the men who approach her are either married or much older.

Speaking on the American podcast Lip Service, the award-winning singer admitted that her dating options have become slim as she grows older, with most of her potential suitors already taken.

“I’m like a sugar mama, but I don’t want to be. If I meet somebody who can really marry me, they’re either in their 50s or already married. So, I don’t know — maybe I can be a second wife. I think so. I could be a second wife,” she said.

The Somebody’s Son crooner added that if she ever became a second wife, she would maintain harmony and respect in the marriage.

“I think I can get along with the first wife, and she’s going to love me because I won’t be troublesome. I’ll be going on tours, not stressing anyone. I’m very respectful, and I’ll accord her that respect as the first wife,” Tiwa added.

Tiwa Savage was previously married to music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TBillz.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 and divorced in 2018. Their union produced a son.

Following their separation, both parties accused each other of infidelity — a development that generated widespread media attention at the time.

Now in her 40s and focused on her global music career, Tiwa says peace, respect, and self-contentment have become her guiding principles in relationships.
