Nigerian Afrobeats star, Tiwa Savage, has reflected on the controversy surrounding her leaked intimate video in 2021, lamenting that she was unfairly judged despite being the victim of the scandal.
Speaking in a recent interview, the singer said the public reaction at the time shifted blame onto her instead of condemning those who violated her privacy.
“People ignored the fact that I was the victim,” Tiwa Savage said, adding that she endured harsh criticism and ridicule rather than empathy.
The award-winning artist, who has since continued to dominate the African music scene, said the experience reshaped her perspective on fame, privacy, and the double standards women face in the entertainment industry.
The leaked video, which surfaced online in October 2021, sparked widespread debate and drew global attention. While many fans expressed support for Savage, critics faulted her for the incident.
Despite the backlash, Tiwa Savage has maintained her place as one of Africa’s leading female musicians, performing on international stages and securing high-profile endorsements.
