In a candid interview on Beat FM to promote her latest single, Forgiveness, Tiwa revealed insights into her life and career, showing a side that fans rarely see.
When asked about her most daring act for love, Tiwa didn’t hold back. “If I’m into someone, I’m really into that person,” she confessed. Reflecting on the craziest thing she’s ever done for love, she said, “I’ve pulled up at a guy’s house unannounced. I may not be as savage as people think.”
Turning to her career, Tiwa described the fierce drive that’s fueled her rise to fame. “I’m a beast when it comes to my work. I’ll call you twenty times if something needs to get done. If you give me a reason it’s not, I’ll find a way to make it happen.”
Known for her powerful performances and commanding presence, Tiwa’s approach to her work is nothing short of intense. “That’s where the savagery kicks in,” she added, hinting at the unwavering dedication that has kept her at the top of the industry.
Savage also spoke about her “phoenix era,” a period of reinvention and resilience after facing significant life challenges. “I am in my phoenix era; I even have a phoenix tattoo on my neck,” she explained. “She’s gone through the fire, and I am just getting out of it. It’s like a reinvention. I am coming out stronger in terms of love, heartbreak, just where I am in life.” Reflecting on her journey, she shared, “I’m at a stage where I am starting to accept certain things, set boundaries, and just be happy with what I have achieved. This is the rebirth of Tiwa Savage.”
Looking to the future, Tiwa expressed her ambitions beyond music. “I still have much more to do. I want to do movies, start a skincare line, expand my NGO work, and maybe even open a music school,” she shared, underscoring her desire to make an even greater impact in the years to come.
As a role model, Tiwa acknowledged the responsibility that comes with her public image. “It’s something I had to embrace,” she admitted. “As much as I’m seen as a role model, I still have to be true to myself. When I make mistakes, I address them, because I’m human—that’s part of being a role model.”
