Nigerian Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has opened up about the backlash she faced after her intimate video was leaked in 2021, saying she was unfairly blamed despite being the victim.
In a recent interview, the singer recalled how she was “bashed for it,” particularly by influential figures in the US and UK.
“A lot of people from America and the UK, they think I’m capping and just trying to get sympathy,” she said.
She added that the criticism came not only from the general public but also from people with platforms. “They were quite horrible. They blamed me. They said because I was getting older in the industry, maybe I was doing it to be relevant,” Tiwa Savage explained.
On a lighter note, she joked that if the act had been intentional, it would have been done with full production value. “I would have had better lighting, better lingerie, my facial expression would have been on point,” she remarked.
