Popular Nigerian music superstar, Tiwa Savage, has opened up in a very candid conversation, revealing that she has not engaged in sexual activity for the past three years. The revelation has since sparked massive reactions across social media platforms as fans and critics continue to share their different opinions.
The Afrobeat queen, while speaking during a podcast session that is currently making rounds online, was asked a direct question by one of the male hosts concerning her love life, marriage history, and at what point she realized she still had the capacity to love again.
In her response, Tiwa Savage explained that she is deeply in love with her son, her loyal team, and close friends. She emphasized that she had once been married, and at her age of 45, she views life and relationships differently. According to her, she doesn’t rush into love or intimacy as she once did in her younger years.
One of the podcast hosts, curious about her statement, probed further by asking about other things she loves. When Tiwa replied with a playful “like what?”, the man responded bluntly with “Pen*s.” This question immediately threw Tiwa into laughter before she confidently revealed that she has been celibate for over three years, with no sexual activity and not even the use of sex toys. She added that sex is not something she is overly excited about or obsessed with.
The shocking confession stunned both the hosts and viewers. A female co-host, in disbelief, asked her to confirm again: “wait, 365 days times 3?” Tiwa Savage affirmed, leaving many surprised at her boldness. She further clarified her position by saying that she needs to be genuinely in love with someone before sex can even come to her mind.
With a touch of humor, Tiwa Savage joked that maybe fans should consider gifting her sex toys for Christmas, since she does not currently own or use any. The statement, though made in a light-hearted manner, has generated intense conversation online, with many debating the truth behind her claim and others applauding her boldness to share such a personal detail publicly.
Reactions to the podcast revelation
Peter E commented: “You people will just start lying in front of camera! Isn’t this the same woman that had a sex video leaked years ago? Now suddenly, she doesn’t like sex? This doesn’t add up at all.”
Blessy added: “Honestly, it is possible. Not all women are crazy about sex. But I feel like society may not believe her because of her status, looks, and career. Even me, I find it a little hard to believe, but it’s not impossible.”
Mezie reacted: “Your sexual life is your private business, please keep it away from podcasts and cameras. This isn’t something you should be discussing openly. The internet is too wild for such intimate topics.”
Tobaaaaa wrote: “No sexually active woman just quits sex for three years. It’s not that easy. Once you start, it becomes part of you. That being said, women in their 30s and 40s should know that sex is very important for mental and physical health. It should be regular, safe, and consensual.”
