Nigerian superstar Tiwa Savage has opened up about a past relationship that left her feeling disrespected. She revealed how a certain public figure she once dated refused to acknowledge their romance in public.

Speaking candidly, the “Somebody’s Son” hitmaker admitted the secrecy of the relationship took a toll on her. "He said he didn’t want us to go public and might be talking to other people," Tiwa revealed. "It’s the disrespect. I am a public figure, and he is as well. And he says, ‘I don’t want people to talk.’”

The Pain of Being Hidden

According to the singer, the most painful moments came when the two found themselves at the same events, yet he would act as though they were strangers.

“We could be in the same event and he is just doing his own thing,” she said, highlighting the lack of acknowledgment that made her question the relationship’s value.

While Tiwa did not name the man in question, her account sparked a conversation among fans, many of whom sympathized with her experience of trying to balance love and fame.

For a global artist constantly in the limelight, she explained, honesty and mutual respect are even more important than privacy.

A Reminder of Respect

The revelation sheds light on the challenges celebrities often face in their personal lives.

\With constant scrutiny from fans and the media, many public figures struggle to protect their relationships while still giving their partners the recognition they deserve.

For Tiwa, the secrecy felt less about protection and more about disregard.

Despite the heartbreak, the Afrobeats queen remains focused on her music and thriving career.

As one fan put it: “If he can’t acknowledge you in public, then he doesn’t deserve you in private.”
