💔 Global Superstar Warns Women: “Don’t Leave a Good Man for a Devil in Disguise.”
LOS ANGELES / LAGOS — Nigerian music queen and global Afrobeats icon Tiwa Savage has shaken the internet with a brutally honest confession that’s sending shockwaves through fan communities worldwide.
In an emotionally raw and unexpected Instagram Live that drew over 2.4 million viewers, the singer opened up about one of her biggest life regrets — leaving her marriage for a man who promised her “everything she’d ever dreamed of”… only to deliver heartbreak, manipulation, and betrayal.
“I was chasing a fantasy… and I lost everything.”
With teary eyes and a trembling voice, Tiwa admitted:
“He told me I was his queen. He said I deserved better. He showed me the world — yachts, jets, hotels in Paris. But behind all that glamor was someone even more broken than the man I left.”
Her fans watched in disbelief as the Grammy-nominated singer described a whirlwind affair with a wealthy European businessman she met during a private performance in Monaco.
“He said he could give me heaven. Instead, I found myself in a worse kind of hell. The emotional abuse was real. I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.”
Secret Romance Turned Toxic: “He isolated me from everyone.”
According to sources close to Tiwa, the unnamed man — a married real estate tycoon with ties to Middle Eastern royalty — swept her off her feet, convincing her to end her marriage to Tunji “TeeBillz” Balogun for a “better life.”
But after the glitz faded, Tiwa says she faced verbal attacks, gaslighting, and loneliness.
“He made me feel like I wasn’t enough — that my career made me undesirable. I gave up a lot for someone who only wanted to own me, not love me.”
“I walked away from a man who tried — for a man who lied.”
In a moment that brought her fans to tears, she added:
“Was my marriage perfect? No. But that man fought for me, protected me, and loved me even when I couldn’t love myself. I left him for a fantasy, and I paid the price.”
A Warning to All Women: “Be careful who you listen to.”
Tiwa is now urging women around the world not to be seduced by sweet words and fairy-tale promises.
“Don’t let any man — no matter how charming — convince you to leave your partner just because he says you deserve more. Sometimes, the grass is only greener because it’s covering poison.”
Her confession has been met with an outpouring of support, with celebrities and fans alike sharing their own similar experiences under the hashtag #TiwasTruth.

“We chase sparkle and forget loyalty. Tiwa reminded us what matters.”
Where She Stands Now: “Healing, Growing, and Reclaiming My Power”
Tiwa confirmed that she’s been in therapy, reconnecting with her son, and rediscovering her passion for music without anyone controlling her narrative.
She closed her livestream with this:
“I thought I needed someone to save me. Turns out, I needed to save myself. And I am — one day at a time.”
