Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, revealed during an interview with American OAP, Angie Martinez of Power 105.1, that she was being blackmailed by an unknown person who threatened to release a sex tape that featured her and her current lover.
The “Koroba” singer revealed that the blackmailer demanded money from her so as not to release the sex tape but she has decided not to pay the money.
A few hours ago, a sex tape leaked online. While the face of the man involved in it did not show, the lady in the video bears a close resemblance with Tiwa Savage.
As the video has gone viral, social media users on several platforms have taken to their accounts to air their opinion on the situation. Most of the comments have emanated from Twitter as the sonorous singer currently trends at the number one spot. So far, the issue has garnered over 61,000 tweets.
A user of the microblogging platform, Elder Seun, with the handle @iamseunalaofin, noted that despite the leaked video, the singer is an amazing person.
He said, โBecause Tiwa Savage personal activities is exposed in public doesnโt make her different or less human than most of us. Tiwa is amazing as always and she should be celebrated for all she has done for African music!! Tiwa is not an angel so mistakes like this should be overlooked.โ (sic).
Another Twitter user and influencer, @DrOlufunmilayo, in a thread, opined that the sex tape was leaked on purpose.
He said, โLetโs not be fooled: That sex tape leaking was no mistake. And no, Iโm NOT saying Tiwa (or the woman) leaked it herself. Conveniently, the manโs face is not showing. But the womanโs face shows.
โThat man who recorded it knew exactly what he was doing and exactly why he leaked it. I really hope Tiwa doesnโt honestly believe this leak was a โmistakeโ, because it wasnโt. Anyone who knows how Snapchat works will find it extremely hard to believe this โmistakeโ narrative.
โYou donโt โmistakenlyโ upload things on Snapchat, except you recorded it there first. And if you recorded the live sex on Snapchat, what exactly is your motivation and drive for that? Whatโs the motivation actually? If not to possibly leak it โmistakenlyโ on your Snap, maybe as a form of bragging rights to your friends/followers that you are bedding a celebrity.โ
The medical doctor continued, โI find it hilarious seeing that it is mostly women who should know better and who should learn from this situation are the ones that are desperately telling themselves naively that this is a โmistakeโ.
โAnyway, every mallam to his kettle. Itโs not my job to convince you otherwise. But to everyone, pls kindly be careful in this kind of situation. I know some of you call it โloveโ but love doesnโt have to be reckless or foolish.โ (sic)
Moreso, some have said that they believe that the singer is using the situation as a publicity stunt; a claim Savage has since debunked when she revealed that she was a victim of blackmail.
A Twitter user, @hardmike01 believes that the singer simply wants to stay relevant with his tweet, โTiwa just showed us how desperate she is to stay relevant.โ
Another tweep, @Ayokasz, said, โTiwa claimed someone screen recorded it after it was allegedly posted โmistakenlyโ lmfaooo Snapchat will tell you who screen-recordedโฆ cheap Pr.โ (sic) (Punch)
