Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has pulled back the curtain on her private life, offering a rare and emotional reflection on love, and the revelations have sparked widespread conversation across the entertainment space.
In a candid interview, the award-winning singer revealed that despite her fame, success and long career in the spotlight, she has experienced only one truly fulfilling romantic relationship. According to Tiwa, that single bond stands apart from the rest of her romantic history, which she described as largely disappointing.
Speaking with content creator Korty EO, Tiwa was strikingly honest about her past. She admitted that when she looks back, most of her relationships leave little to celebrate, explaining that there is “hardly any” she would describe as positive or fulfilling. Yet one relationship, she said, was different — deeply meaningful, genuine, and life-affirming.
Tragically, that relationship did not end through separation or conflict, but through death.
“There is one,” Tiwa shared softly. “But he passed away. May his soul rest in peace. He was incredible.”
Although she did not mention a name, fans were quick to speculate that she may have been referring to Habeeb Ademola Uthman, popularly known as Obama DMW, a prominent entertainment executive and close associate of Davido, who died in 2021. The belief has added another emotional layer to her disclosure, though Tiwa herself kept the details private.
Beyond that singular experience, the singer suggested that repeated disappointments in love have shaped her guarded outlook on romance. Her reflections were blunt, unfiltered and deeply personal — a reminder that life behind the glamour is often far from perfect.
Tiwa’s honesty also extended to motherhood. She explained that her experiences with love have influenced how she raises her son, Jamil Balogun, whom she shares with her ex-husband, music executive Tee Billz. For the superstar, the purest and most enduring form of love she knows today is the bond she shares with her child — a connection she describes as unmatched and unconditional.
Her revelations have resonated strongly online, drawing empathy and admiration from fans who praised her vulnerability. Others say her story underscores a powerful truth: success and fame do not shield anyone from heartbreak.
In opening up, Tiwa Savage has reminded the world that even icons carry emotional scars, and sometimes, the most meaningful love stories are the ones that leave lasting lessons rather than happy endings.
