Her s3x tape scandal began with an interview in which she disclosed that she was being blackmailed and that someone was attempting to extort money from her. She went on to say that she found out about the incident when one of her managers gave her the video when she was on her way home from a shoot. Even after the blackmailers threatened to expose the footage unless she paid an undisclosed sum of money, she pledged not to pay any money for doing something “natural.”
The s3x footage leaked online a few days after her testimony and quickly went viral on social media. Many people claimed that she was blackmailed by her close friends and relatives, but Tiwa Savage refuted these claims, claiming that her lover, who created the video, accidentally uploaded it to his Snapchat account and deleted it, but that it was already downloaded before it was taken down from the internet. She also disclosed that
She lambasted her critic (gist lover) on Instagram days after the film was posted, claiming that the s3x tape would destroy her and make her feel embarrassed.
Following the release of her s3x tape, her song “Somebody Son” became one of the most popular Nigerian songs. Many Nigerians, as well as celebrities such as I Go, Dye, and Speed Darlington, felt Tiwa Savage leaked her s3x tape on purpose in order to stay relevant. Other celebrities, such as Ossai Success, the adviser to Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, advised her to apologize to Nigerians for her rash behaviour. Despite the outrage, some Nigerians took to social media to defend Tiwa Savage. Mercy Aigbe, Harrysong, and Ik Ogbonna were among the celebrities that praised her and urged her to be a strong woman.
It should be mentioned, however, that Tiwa Savage is not the only star who has been blackmailed. Nigerian artists Toke Makinwa, Tacha, and Salewa Abeni have all been victims of blackmailers, but they have all effectively dealt with them.
