Award-winning Nigerian music star, Tiwa Savage, has opened up about the emotional pain she endured following the leak of her private sex tape in 2021.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, Savage revealed that the incident \u2014 which sparked widespread reactions from fans, critics, and fellow celebrities \u2014 left her deeply hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hurt, and it is okay for me to say, I was hurt, I was a victim, it happened to me,\u201d Savage said, admitting the experience was traumatic and life-altering.<\/p>\n

The singer disclosed that the intimate video was leaked by her then-boyfriend, who initially claimed it was sent out accidentally. She later discovered that the leak was intentional and the result of a bet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was my boyfriend. I thought we were in a relationship, and then I heard later that it was a bet,\u201d she recounted.<\/p>\n

Savage, who addressed the scandal in her hit single Loaded, admitted that she initially tried to downplay her emotions but has since accepted the impact it had on her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like, if I make fun of it, and I pretend like it is not really getting to me, that\u2019s how I will deal with it. But in hindsight, did I really deal with it? I do not think so. Now I am living in the truth, in my truth, and admitting to myself that, yo, that shit hurt me,\u201d she confessed.<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, the singer said she chose not to quit music, instead channelling her pain into her art.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thought it was just dirty. And I\u2019m like, I know what some of you guys do is even worse than this, but I was a scapegoat. And that was painful for me, man. It was really painful because they brought my son into it and said I was unfit,\u201d Savage said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
