S..e...x Video: I would put it out myself than pay blackmailer — Tiwa Savage

Afrobeats songbird, Tiwa Savage, has said someone was blackmailing her over a s..e..x tape that accidentally went public.

 

But, Tiwa said, she would rather make the video public herself than pay.

 

Tiwa Savage made the revelation in an interview with Angie Martinez of Power 105.1 radio in New York, USA.

The Afrobeats queen noted that the video was not from her team; rather, she said, it was accidentally posted on Snapchat by her lover who deleted it immediately when he realised the error. However, it was too late.

 

She said, “It is not from someone working closely with me.

 

“What happened is that the person did it on Snap and he posted it by accident, but he quickly deleted it.

 

“However, someone got it before he could delete it. It is a very short video, but it is me. It is going to be out there and I can just imagine the memes. I just found out yesterday. I could not sleep last night.

 

“We tried to stall them, but I later decided that I am going to own the narrative. I am not ashamed of it; this is someone I am dating; I am not cheating, neither is he. We are grownups.

Savage, 41, told Power 105.1: “I am not going to call it a s..3..x tape, but it’s a tape between me and the person I am dating right now.

 

“Why now, when the music is so good and I don’t want this to overshadow what’s going on.”

 

She said she won’t fall for blackmail over “something that is natural”, adding “I am that crazy I could put it out myself — you are not making any money off me.”

 

Although she gave off a calm mien during the chat, she said she was worried about her fans, family, friends and son.

 

On her son, she said: “I am going to talk to him and for me it is even later on when he’s about 15 and someone is trying to be rude to him.

 

“I just have to brace him up,” she said.

“I cannot believe this is happening to me. I feel for my fan because they will have to keep defending me.

 

“I can switch off my phone or have someone run my account so I do not see that; but my fans will feel the need to protect me.

 

“I will like my fans to ignore it.”
